I’ll admit to having resisted pumpkin bagels for a number of years. The options I had were either orange bread rings that had a strange seasoning, or they were so sweet that they could pass as breakfast cake. I wanted a real bagel – a bagel that is chewy and shiny with a crunchy crust …
I’ll reveal something a little embarrassing: I’ve eaten banana bread while standing at the kitchen counter like a raccoon and ripping off warm pieces, while pretending I’m “just taste-testing.” These waffles have the same warm comfort of banana bread, and they have the nice crispy edges and fluffy middle that only a waffle iron can …
I will confess that I once used to roll my eyes at baked oatmeal. It sounded like oatmeal that was overdoing it. I prepared a pan on a rainy Sunday, as I had two spotted bananas that were nearly starting to attract fruit flies and judgment. The next morning, I sliced off a square and …
I will admit that there was a time that granola used to bother me. It felt like a “homemade” project where you have to use three bowls, two sheet pans, and go through an emotional spiral to make something you could have easily purchased at the store. Then I began to prepare it how I …
I make these herbed chickpea pancakes when I’m looking for something that will make dinner feel planned, when in reality it wasn’t planned at all. They’re the sort of pantry magic that begins with a bag of chickpea flour you bought for “future projects” and culminates in a pile of savory, green-flecked pancakes that taste …
I’ll admit it; sometimes I don’t want a “proper” breakfast. Some mornings, I crave crunch, spiciness, and the way melted cheese does its thing. I picture eggs nestled into the crevices as if they are the owners. Loaded breakfast nachos are in a class of their own. A little untidy, mildly chaotic, yet extremely enjoyable …
I’ll confess something slightly embarrassing: I thought quiche was fussy food. Something that involved a fluted tart pan, a French accent, and the stamina to whisk eggs like you were trying to get a part on a cooking show. I began preparing it on regular Sundays (my hair still wet, my coffee getting cold) and …
I have a soft spot for muffins that are treats but still give me that breakfast feeling. These cranberry oatmeal muffins are just that: hearty from the oatmeal, bright from the cranberries, and sweet enough to feel intentional. They are the kind of thing you bake \\”for the week\\” and then catch yourself eating one …
I’ll admit it: pancakes make me oddly judgmental. Not of people, of pancakes. I get annoyed when they are rubbery, pale, or taste like sweetened insulation. But when they get it right (warm buttermilk tang, a soft, custardy middle, and those lacy, browned edges) all of a sudden, it’s a calm world and I’m sane …
I’ll admit something mildly embarrassing: I used to think “fluffy scrambled eggs” was just brunch-menu poetry. I then observed as a friend turned some eggs into a soft, towering mountain of curds, without browning, watery puddles, or rubbery texture to be found. After arriving home, I tried making them and, without delay, produced a batch …
I love breakfasts that seem ambitious but are not. This everything bagel breakfast casserole is just that sort of trick: the toasty onion-garlic crunch you expect from a bagel shop, baked into a custardy, savory slab you can cut into pieces like lasagna. It has the energy of brunch but without the stress. The first …
I have to say that I once considered Irish soda bread to be a little, well, earnest. A respectable loaf that you produce once a year; slice it and then send it to oblivion. Then I began to bake it how I like to eat it \u2014 with chunks of tart cranberries and flecks of …
