Brunch

You can cook the eggs a day ahead (keep them chilled), but don’t slice until the first guest rings the doorbell.

Sure, this recipe can make standard-size latkes, but the minis are just right for noshing while chatting.

If you prefer white-meat chicken, use skinless, boneless breasts that have been cut in half crosswise.

These thick slices of toast, slathered with cinnamon butter and topped with fruit, might just become your new favorite weekend morning indulgence.

You can substitute braised short rib, pork shoulder, or brisket for the pastrami—if it's fatty and shreddable, it will make a good hash.

Step one: cut holes in two pieces of sourdough. Step two: fry eggs in those holes. Step three: slap them together with crispy bacon, melty cheddar, and plenty of hot sauce.

Cinnamon, cardamom, and freshly ground black pepper lend warm spice to these sweet fritters.

Anyone who's ever dropped into a local bakery for a morning snack can testify to the appeal of coffee and a doughnut. Here, yeast doughnuts with a touch of cinnamon get an extra jolt of flavor from a sweet espresso glaze.

Forgot to dry out the challah for this pecan-crusted brunch dish? Lay out slices on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in an oven set to 425°F until dry (about 8–10 minutes).

Light and fluffy, these peppery biscuits are as good alongside a hearty dinner as they are with jam for breakfast.

A combination of whole-grain flours gives earthy, nutty complexity (read: tons of flavor) and a satisfying bite to these delicious pancakes. Make a big batch of the mix to keep on hand, or pack some up to deliver to a friend.

I learned the joys of putting potatoes in bread during my time in the Napa Valley, so the flavors here are resonant of that magical place, but don't be afraid to change up the herbs or play with nuts and olives.

Dates and bananas naturally sweeten this wholesome breakfast smoothie.

TIP: To ripen bananas quickly, put unpeeled bananas on baking sheet and bake at 350° 15 to 20 minutes or until skins have blackened. Slice skins open and scoop out banana.

The warm, sweet spices of masala chai are magic in these homemade doughnuts.

The classic treat gets a double dose of cider goodness from a syrupy reduction that is both mixed into the dough and used for the shiny glaze.

Cold brew concentrate lends robust coffee flavor to these crispy cake doughnuts.
