Cornmeal and Buckwheat Blueberry Muffins

They are the antithesis of the cakey blueberry muffins you find in coffee shops. The berry quotient is generous here. If you find the buckwheat flavor too strong, swap flip the amounts of whole- wheat flour with the amount of and buckwheat flours (that is, use 125 grams whole- wheat and 65 grams buckwheat).

Steel-Cut Oatmeal and Blueberry Muffins

If you’re investing time in making steel-cut oatmeal for breakfast, you might as well make a little extra and try these healthy muffins with what’s left over. Most muffins sold in bakeries are just cupcakes in disguise, but these are moist, nourishing and a healthy source of whole grains. Even if you don’t think of yourself as a baker, these are easy and come together quickly — a second day breakfast off the first day’s work.

Bran and Chia Muffins

These moist, hearty muffins have great texture because of the slight crunch that the chia seeds contribute. They’re not very sweet, and they crumble a little bit even thought they’re moist; add a little more sweetener if you want more of a treat. I think they taste best a day after you bake them.

Gluten-Free Cornmeal, Fig and Orange Muffins

A sweet and grainy cornmeal mixture makes for a delicious muffin. Fig and orange is always a delicious combination, and both ingredients go very well with this sweet and grainy cornmeal mixture.

Grandma Salazar's Tortillas

This recipe for flour tortillas came to The Times in 2005 from Traci Des Jardins, a San Francisco chef whose heritage is Cajun on one side and Mexican on the other, via her maternal grandmother, Angela Salazar. You’ll see “bacon drippings” in the ingredients. These make for really delicious tortillas.

Eggs With Gigante Beans and Harissa

A combination of soft beans, harissa-imbued vegetables, crisp-edged fried eggs and salty bits of cured tuna (or prosciutto), this unusual brunch dish is substantial and interesting enough to serve for dinner. While the chef Ignacio Mattos of Estela restaurant in New York City designed the dish around the plump gigante beans, any white bean, canned or freshly cooked, will work just as well. You can make the the beans and harissa mixture a few days ahead. But don't start toasting the bread until the last minute. You need it as crisp as possible to contrast with all the other soft textures.

Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal Pudding

I spoon this comforting, sweet pudding into ramekins and serve it as a dessert, but you could also make it a breakfast splurge. You can serve it hot or cold.

Maple-Cardamom Saffron Sticky Buns

I love to sprinkle nigella seeds over the tops of these fragrant buns — they look great and the savory nigella contrasts well with the sweet dough. (Sesame seeds would work, too.) Clotted cream is the perfect accompaniment, but if you can’t find it, crème fraîche or mascarpone would also be lovely — whether at breakfast or teatime.

Cantaloupe-Lime Agua Fresca With Chia Seeds

A light, refreshing blender drink that is sweet and a little bit tart. Although I make this in a blender, I think it qualifies as an agua fresca rather than a smoothie, as it is made with pure fruit, enriched with a spoonful of soaked chia seeds. The flavor of the drink will only be as good as your melon, so seek out the best cantaloupe, or other sweet orange melon, you can find. I don’t add sweetener to the drink, but you can if you think it needs a little something.

Sautéed Apple Rings

I came across this utterly simple idea in Deborah Madison’s “Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone.” She serves hers as a dessert with ice cream, a lovely use for the apples (which she also embellishes with raisins and pine nuts). I think they make a great addition to the Thanksgiving buffet, to go with the turkey along with cranberry sauce. Or serve them with your latkes next month! Breakfast is another meal where these are welcome, right on top of your whole wheat buttermilk pancakes. I find that the apples will caramelize most efficiently if you don’t crowd the pan, so I begin by sautéing the apples in 2 batches, then I combine the batches for the final addition of vanilla and optional brandy or calvados. Both tender apples like McIntosh, Gala, Macoun and Cortland, as well as firmer apples like Braeburns, work well in this dish.

Eggs Eli

Amanda Hesser first wrote about this "blunt and tasty" egg dish, which dates back to 1909, in The New York Times Magazine. A simple dish with robust flavors, the recipe blends scrambled eggs with finely minced Virginia ham and anchovies. Before cooking, you rub the pan with a garlic clove, which scents the eggs without overwhelming them. If you're eating this for breakfast, as originally intended, serve it with toast points and butter. But if you're having it in the evening as a small first course — a perfectly acceptable choice — it should be accompanied with glasses of chilled fino sherry.

Bread Pudding Frittata

At El Rey Coffee Bar and Luncheonette, you can get this rich, silky egg terrine all day long, but it’s particularly wonderful at breakfast or brunch. Although it does take time to put together, you can do all of it well ahead – up to 24 hours. And the last minute work is minimal (slice an avocado, chop up some fresh herbs). Don’t be tempted to skip the frequent stirring while the dish bakes. It may seem fussy, but in fact is the key to the luscious texture, which is somewhere between custard and bread pudding.
