Soft pastry, warm spinach, crumbled feta, and an egg on top: the perfect Labor Day weekend breakfast. Despite the stress of a last-minute substitution I had to make for this recipe, these pastries were so relaxing and fun to make as a kick-off to the long weekend. I thought I had puff pastry on hand,…

Carbonara Egg Nests
Arguably, carbonara is the best pasta dish to put an egg on and call brunch. After all, the traditional recipe calls for a raw egg to bind the sauce together with pancetta (or bacon) and fresh cheese. So why not add more egg into the mix? I had fun creating this “nest” version of carbonara,…
Crispy Broccoli Egg Toasts
If you’ve never thought of broccoli as breakfast appropriate, I’m here to change your mind. I’ve never claimed to be healthy recipe creator, but a recent, ongoing acid reflux flare-up (my first ever) made me take a hard look at my eating habits, and has also given me the creativity to create delicious meals using…
10-Minute Shakshuka with Mina Sauce
Shakshuka is one of the most luxurious brunches you can make for yourself – slowly simmering the eggs in spicy tomato sauce, topping it with crumbled cheese or veggies, and dipping a piece of crusty bread in it as a reward for your time spent at the stove. While I typically cobble together a sauce…
Breakfast Potato Skins
Love this sports bar appetizer and want an excuse to eat them before noon? #PutAnEggOnIt! I did, and I highly recommend it. Full disclosure: this breakfast takes a long time to make right, so I strongly suggest saving it for a slow, luxurious weekend morning. I made it on Thanksgiving to tide us over until…
Spinach & Bean Egg Toasts with Red Pepper Flakes
This was a spontaneous idea inspired by a can of beans that has lived in my pantry forever – how’s that for food blog glamour? I didn’t know what to expect with this one, but I had a feeling throwing red pepper flakes on it would make it taste good, no matter what. It turns…
Poached Egg Benedicts with Prosciutto, Goat Cheese, Balsamic and Apricot Jam
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen me pair eggs with goat cheese and prosciutto. I can’t help myself. I buy the ingredients for one prosciutto crostini recipe and end up making a different breakfast out of all of them for weeks. No regrets. This particular version is a poached eggs benedict I made a…
Spiralized Butternut Squash Egg Nests
I’ve wanted to make a nest breakfast for a long time, but I don’t own a spiralizer, and they (possibly irrationally) scare me. So I asked my boyfriend to grab me whatever pre-spiralized item our grocery store happened to be selling one day, which varies from zucchini, to sweet potato, to other squashes. Butternut squash-oodles…
Shakshuka
My version starts with everything I could find in the refrigerator on a hungry weekend morning: a combination of pasta sauces, hot sauce, sausage, olives, parmesan, and tomatoes. But you can substitute a lot of other ingredients, too. Shakshuka, a traditionally Israeli dish, is a brunch meant for sharing on a cozy Sunday. If you…
Pink Deviled Eggs at Seasons 52 Support National Breast Cancer Foundation
One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. That’s a daunting number. How can we contribute to research and help change that rate in the future? It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and food businesses have come up with creative ways to help customers contribute to the…
Savory Sausage Baked Eggs Pastry
Puff pastry eggsperiment round two, this time with meat! Things went so well the first time I tried this with just veggies, so I finally got around to making them again – but with slices of asiago spinach sausage. This is a recipe you can definitely fit in before work, as long as you remember…
Savory Tomato Waffle “Hash” with Eggs
I’ve made a lot of breakfasts with savory waffles, so this time I tried something new: using chopped-up plant-based tomato waffles like hashbrowns and frying an egg in them. Specifically, I used swapples, made by a local DC startup that makes amazing healthy frozen waffles, but you could try this with other thick, Belgian-style waffles,…
