Eggs In A Basket
This dish goes by many names: egg in a hole, toad in a hole, egg in a basket...no matter the name, this dish will always be one of our favorites, one that is somehow greater than the sum of its minimal parts. Don't forget to toast the bread round; it's crucial for sopping up the last bits of yolk.

Strawberries 'n' Cream Granola Bars
These strawberries 'n' cream granola bars are so much better than the store-bought kind. Packed with rolled oats, coconut flakes, pepitas, and freeze-dried strawberries for a hit of tart flavor, these are perfect for breakfast or an on-the-go snack.

Best-Ever Egg Muffins
Whether you eat these as-is, or wrapped in a toasted English muffin, you'll be so glad you made a big batch of these egg muffins.

Air Fryer Spinach, Roasted Red Pepper, and Goat Cheese Omelet
This veggie-packed omelet really highlights what an air fryer can do. Customize the fillings just like your very own at-home omelet bar. Hot tip: This omelet will look set on top before it’s fully cooked. If you take it out to fold it and there’s still some runny egg on the bottom, just pop it back in the air fryer for another minute.

Triple Berry Smoothie
A smoothie is so much more than blended fruit. It's an art with all of its different elements blending perfectly together. We chose strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and bananas to be our base, but any combo of fruit is great.

Bagel and Lox
We're not too picky on how you top your bagel and lox, but we highly recommend slathering with our scallion cream cheese.

Easy Applesauce Muffins
Applesauce is the secret to these super tender and moist muffins, which you don’t even need a mixer to make! Buckwheat flour is our secret ingredient; it adds nuttiness and depth that pairs perfectly with apples and cinnamon. Sprinkling the insides of the cups (and the tops!) with cinnamon sugar gives the muffins extra sweetness and a light crispy crunch you'll love.

Yogurt Toast
This TikTok number has taken breakfast tables by storm, and for good reason. It involves topping bread with a shortcut egg-yogurt “custard” to create a slightly sweet, fancy-ish dessert with barely any effort. The choices of toppings are ripe for your imagination. (FYI, Team Delish favors a bit of chocolate in the custard.)
Get the Yogurt Toast recipe.
Whipped Ricotta Toast
This light, fluffy whipped ricotta is as close as you can get to eating a cloud. You can even spoon it onto a serving plate and top with roasted vegetables, add it to bruschetta, or serve as dessert with fresh or roasted strawberries.

Blueberry Smoothie
To make the blueberry’s gentle sweet-tart flavor pop in a blended smoothie, you’ll need to add a few things to make it taste more like itself. One of our favorite secret ingredients? The tiniest pinch of salt in your smoothie will help make all the flavors pop a bit more, bringing them to the foreground instead of tasting muddied and unsaturated.

Breakfast Tostadas
We love a simple but crazy delicious breakfast, and these tostadas are just that. The toppings on these tostadas are our ideal toppings, but you can change them up however you’d like. Cook an overeasy egg instead or top with some sour cream. The best part is that these can be different every time you make them and still be so very good.

NYC-Style Bacon, Egg & Cheese
Sometimes you just really want a bodega egg sandwich, plain and simple. For the authentic experience, top it with ketchup and salt and pepper and chase with an iced coffee.

Pesto Egg-In-A-Hole
Upgrade your classic egg-in-a-hole by adding pesto! Cook your eggs in the herby sauce instead of oil for insanely flavorful eggs on top of crusty bread.
Get the Pesto Egg-In-A-Hole recipe.
Classic Tofu Scramble
This makes for a great traditional American breakfast, alongside toast and eggplant bacon, but it's also killer in breakfast burritos, tacos, and sandwiches.

Air Fryer Banana Blueberry Muffins
Packed with blueberries, bananas, and banana chips (HELLO!), consider these your new go-to blueberry muffin. Change them up depending on which berries you have in the freezer—cranberries are so fun for the holidays!

Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats
