Spiced sweet potato pancake and egg stacks are the brunch that eats like dinner — crisp-edged shredded sweet potato pancakes warmed with coriander and cumin, stacked with eggs and a spiced tomato sauce. Thirty minutes, and every layer pulls its weight. A Brilliant...
Rustic Summer Vegetable Tartlets with Masa Harina Crust
Rustic vegetable tartlets with masa harina crust are my late-summer show-off — roasted zucchini, eggplant, peppers, and fennel piled into golden crusts that taste faintly of fresh corn tortillas. Weekend pacing, but every part can be made in stages. Capture the...
Ricotta-Stuffed Summer Tomatoes with Zucchini & Corn
When summer produce is at its peak, there's no better way to celebrate than with a dish that lets those fresh flavors shine! These stuffed tomatoes are the perfect embodiment of the season. We're taking ripe, juicy beefsteak tomatoes and hollowing them out to create...
Provençal Tomato & Cheese Fondue
Provençal-inspired tomato and herb fondue is cheese fondue with a southern French summer in the pot — sweet diced tomatoes, garlic, and herbes de Provence melted into Gruyère and Comté. It's the dinner-party dish that buys the cook ten quiet minutes while...
Savory Mushroom, Spinach & Tofu Strudel
Savory mushroom and spinach strudel is the vegetarian centerpiece I save for holidays and milestone dinners — garlicky white mushrooms, wilted spinach, and a tofu-Neufchâtel-Cheddar filling rolled into crackling pastry and sliced into a showpiece. It feeds a table of...
High-Protein Egg Crêpe Enchiladas (Gluten-Free)
A gluten-free enchilada dream is exactly what it sounds like: enchiladas wrapped in thin egg crêpes instead of tortillas, layered over brown rice and pinto beans with salsa and melted Monterey Jack. Nobody at the table ever guesses there's no flour. A Gluten-Free...

Hearty Eggplant & Olive Shakshuka Recipe
Eggplant and olive shakshuka is the skillet dinner I make when plain eggs need a plot — soft eggplant cubes and briny green Greek olives simmered in a smoky paprika-cumin tomato sauce with eggs cracked right on top. Bread for scooping is non-negotiable. Ready to...
Savory Baked Egg Nests with Mushrooms & Swiss
Cheese mushroom egg nests are my brunch trick for a crowd: bread cups toasted golden and filled with garlicky cremini mushrooms and tarragon, each one holding an egg under melted Swiss. One muffin pan, six nests, endless recipe requests. A Stylish, Savory Start to...
Light & Flaky Carrot Ricotta Quiche
Carrot and ricotta quiche in a phyllo crust is what happens when you want quiche without the pastry project — crackly layers of paper-thin phyllo holding a custard of ricotta, sweet grated carrots, and shallots. Gentle, golden, and a little bit fancy. Craving a...
Kale & Butternut Squash Kuku Recipe
Butternut squash and greens kuku — the Persian egg bake — is the brunch dish that looks far more effortful than its 40 minutes: sweet squash cubes, baby kale and spinach, and salty feta set into tender, lemon-zested eggs. Cut it into wedges and serve warm or at room...

Broccoli raab frittata with sun-dried tomatoes and Swiss cheese turns one pan of greens and a carton of eggs into dinner in under 30 minutes. The raab's gentle bitterness against chewy sun-dried tomatoes and melted Swiss (or Gruyère) is a combination worth...
