Kai Jiew (Crispy Fried Thai Omelet)
This classic Thai omelet — with just enough fish sauce and sugar to enhance its pure eggy flavor — is equally friendly to home cooks, serving as a staple in dorm rooms and home kitchens alike. Unlike its French cousin, cooked softly in butter, kai jiew is cooked through in a generous amount of oil, making it delicately crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Beaten with cornstarch and poured into a hot pan, the eggs puff and sizzle as they cook. Serve this as is over a pile of fragrant jasmine rice or alongside curries or stir fries.

Make-Ahead Egg, Spinach and Feta Wraps
Packed with protein, enough baby spinach to make Popeye proud, and punchy umami from sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese, these wraps are ideal for make-ahead breakfasts. Feel free to customize by adding herbs like dill, parsley or cilantro, or a small handful of chopped roasted red peppers or pitted olives. The frittata-like egg mixture is baked in the oven in a baking pan and sliced into rectangles to fit easily on lavash wraps or burrito-size flour tortillas. If you don’t want to make wraps, you can simply serve the tender frittata by itself.

This Beloved Savory Mediterranean Pastry Is a Spiraled Delight
This borek features hypnotic spirals of golden flaky pastry filled with a savory carrot, mushroom, and feta cheese filling.
Giant Strawberry Turnover
This showstopping strawberry turnover is like your favorite toaster pastry, writ large and ready to share. It’s also easy to achieve with flaky layers of store-bought puff pastry, and a jam-enhanced strawberry filling means that it will be delicious even if your berries aren’t top notch. The final flourish is a buttery vanilla glaze, which is just sweet and rich enough to make this giant turnover look beautiful and feel extra special. It’s the perfect centerpiece for a festive brunch and is sure to wow any guests.
Egg and Cheese Toasts With Salsa
In Mexico, huevos ahogados (“drowned eggs”) typically refers to eggs gently poached in a vibrant salsa. This version flips the idea into a speedy, satisfying breakfast (or weeknight dinner) by layering crisp-edged fried eggs over cheesy, broiled bolillo toasts and smothering them in a bright, spicy tomato salsa. It's a dish built for flexibility: Use just one serrano for a mild sauce or three for serious heat, and swap in Monterey Jack if you can’t find queso Chihuahua. Finished with creamy avocado and a sprinkle of cilantro, it’s rich, hearty and perfect for sopping up every last bit of salsa.
Pancake Mix
Digging into a pile of fluffy pancakes sounds like the start of a dreamy weekend, but it can admittedly be a hassle to pull all the dry ingredients together when the mood strikes. A pancake mix can expedite that process so half the work is already done. Here, a simple blend is batched and stored for multiple pancake-making sessions. If pancakes are a weekend ritual and you have a vessel large enough, feel free to double or even triple the recipe and scoop as needed. The mix will keep for 3 months in a cool, dark spot in the pantry, and up to 6 months in the freezer. Serve the pancakes with a generous drizzle of blueberry syrup, which, like the mix, can also be made ahead.
Cherry Almond Scones
All you need is a bowl and a baking sheet to make these buttery, fruit-filled scones (no rolling pin required!). Bringing the dough together with a fork and then gently folding it in half helps to avoid overmixing while creating tender, flaky layers. Toasty almonds and a sprinkle of sugar give these scones a crisp exterior, while cherries provide pops of sweetness and color. Fresh or frozen cherries work equally well, so you can make them any time of year.
Hong Kong-Style French Toast
This mainstay of the cha chaan teng, or Hong Kong-style diner, transforms the humble peanut butter sandwich into something decadent thanks to a custardy golden-brown exterior that gives way to a warm, creamy filling. Typically deep-fried, this version uses a shallow-fry method for a treat that is easy to achieve at home. A melting pat of butter and drizzle of condensed milk provide the signature finish. The peanut butter may be replaced with any number of fillings, such as kaya (coconut jam), marmalade or chocolate-hazelnut spread. Serve this indulgent breakfast or snack alongside milk tea or coffee for an authentic cha chaan teng experience.

How to Make Tender, Fluffy Biscuits in Under an Hour
These tender chive and cheddar drop biscuits require zero rolling and chilling—and take less than an hour to make from start to finish.
Gheysava (Eggs With Dates and Cinnamon)
A sweet and savory combination of rich dates and eggs, gheysava is an energizing breakfast dish popular in Tabriz, the capital of Iran’s East Azerbaijan Province. The dates are first soaked in hot water to soften, and then cooked in butter alongside walnuts until caramelized and luscious. Some variations cook the dates down until smooth and creamy and the eggs are then scrambled in, but here the dates retain their form and the eggs are simply cracked right into the pan. Juicy, meaty dates such as medjool dates are best here. Gheysava warms you from within and fills you with vitality and strength to take on the day. Serve with bread and a hot cup of tea.

Banana–Nut Muffins
These moist, tender banana-nut muffins get warmth from cinnamon and nutmeg, and vanilla extract brings a delicate floral note that complements the sweetness of the brown sugar and ripe bananas.
Broken Egg Salad
This dish has all the elements of a classic egg salad — eggs, mayonnaise and mustard — with one radical change: The cooked eggs are simply torn into deliciously irregular chunks of whites and yolks in a more laid-back approach. Egg salad recipes usually call for hard-boiled eggs, but since they stay largely intact here, this recipe calls for just-set yolks that are golden and jammy at their core. When cooking eggs, every second counts, so make sure you set a timer as soon as the eggs hit the water to avoid overcooking. Eat this egg salad as you would the classic: with bread as a sandwich or tartine, tossed with some chickpeas or grains, or served alongside roasted veggies.
Spice Muffins
Deep, complex flavors from molasses and stout distinguish these muffins from the typical sweeter varieties, and nutty brown butter and spices like cardamom, allspice and cinnamon bring a toasty warmth. Those familiar with Jamaican spice bun will be pleasantly surprised to find many parallels between that cake and these muffins. The chewy, spicy tendrils of crystallized ginger — which are optional in this recipe but highly recommended — stand in for the traditional fruit mix and further amplify the ground ginger in the batter.
Sour Cream and Onion Drop Biscuits
These wondrous, quick and easy biscuits taste very much like sour cream and onion potato chips. But even though the name of this recipe mentions sour cream and onion, the ingredient list does not include either: The tangy element is the buttermilk, and the actual sour cream flavor comes from grated Parmesan. Along with chives, the combination sort of tricks our brains into perceiving the beloved duo that is sour cream and onion. The effort required for these buttery biscuits is minimal, and the results are spectacular.
Huevos Enfrijolados (Eggs in Spicy Black Beans)
Eggs nestled in a spicy, smoky black bean sauce, huevos enfrijolados are a staple of Mexican home cooking. It’s a quick way to make a meal from what’s already in the kitchen: leftover frijoles de olla, chiles and fresh eggs. In this version, canned black beans are cooked with chipotles and garlic until rich and creamy, then eggs are gently dropped into the simmering beans to poach. Served with crunchy tostadas, queso fresco and avocado, it’s a deeply comforting, pantry-friendly meal that comes together in under 45 minutes — perfect for a weeknight dinner or a quick and hearty brunch.

Pohé (Flattened Rice)
In the Indian state of Maharashtra, this savory breakfast known as pohé is a favorite. It features parched, flattened rice (also called pohé or poha) paired with onions, a medley of spices, and vegetables such as potatoes, green peas, cauliflower, or tomatoes.
Cottage Cheese Egg Bites
Egg bites are a perfect, protein-rich snack to have on hand for busy mornings. Blending eggs with cottage cheese and shredded cheese, dividing the mixture among muffin cups and baking in a water bath result in a soft, delicate texture. For the right consistency, use a blender to combine all the ingredients until just smooth and frothy. You can add any fillings that you like (leftover cooked vegetables are a great addition). Use any of the shredded cheeses suggested or a combination, and finish with a sprinkling of Parmesan if you like. The water bath creates steam, which ensures the eggs bake gently and remain fluffy (see Tip). For best results, use a silicone muffin pan, so the egg bites pop right out.
Bubble and Squeak
Bubble and squeak is a deeply caramelized, homey cake of leftover mashed potatoes and other vegetables, traditionally made the morning after a Sunday roast. This classic British dish gets its name from the cooking process: As the moisture from the vegetables bubbles away, the vegetables sizzle and squeak — especially the cabbage, a common addition. Be sure to let the bottom brown and crisp, mix those bits into the mash, then repeat until the cake is strewn with golden vegetables throughout. Eat alongside a fried or poached egg for breakfast. To make it vegetarian, replace the bacon with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Harcha (Moroccan Semolina Bread)
