22 Recipes We Know 'Emily In Paris' Would Be Putting On Instagram

French omelets have a reputation for being ridiculously difficult to execute, even with the most experienced chefs. But with some practice, we know you can nail it. Once you do, it will be the most impressive breakfast and brunch to serve up to guests—you'll look like an absolute pro in the kitchen. Just be sure to use your own omelet pan, if you know what we mean. 😉

The French 75 is among the fanciest of cocktails. Sure, there’s the tried-and-true margarita and the timeless Old-Fashioned, but the French 75 has got what those two don’t: Champagne! Champagne is what makes this drink distinctively French (and totally worth the splurge), but a more affordable sparkling wine such as Prosecco or Cava are both sound options. Make sure to squeeze the lemon twist into your drink to add some of those floral lemon oils.

There's really no such thing as a quick croissant, but this recipe is about as fast as they come. The dough is basically a borrowed pie crust technique, cutting large chunks of cold butter into flour and skipping the intimidating traditional laminating process.

Emily put leeks back on the dinner table, but we think our soup is a bit more magical than the French recipe. 😉 This savory leek and potato soup can be left chunky or blended smooth, but the best part is the crunchy garnish that tops each bowl. While many recipes using leeks call for discarding the tougher, more fibrous green tops, we reserve them, slice 'em real thin, and stir-fry them until crispy and golden. Sprinkled with a little salt, fried leek greens transform an otherwise fine bowl of soup into an outstanding one.

The secret to perfect crepes? Let the batter rest at least 20 minutes at room temperature or longer in the fridge. This allows the flour to absorb the liquid and gives the gluten a chance to relax so your crepes will be tender instead of chewy. Perfect for breakfast or an after-dinner treat!

These delicate French cookies are somehow simultaneously crispy, chewy, soft, and light as air. This makes them the perfect blank canvas for creative flavors and colors. Make sure all your ingredients are room temperature to achieve the greatest success.

If you're a fan of refreshing, low-alcohol cocktails like the ever-popular Aperol Spritz, we have a sneaking suspicion you're gonna love this cocktail. St. Germain, a sweet and floral French liqueur made from elderflowers, is the perfect complement to dry sparkling wine.

We can’t think of a better way to indulge and also feel good about eating French fries than this steak frites salad. In French, steak frites translates to steak and fries, simple as that. A common dish at bistros in France, Belgium, and beyond, we took the concept and combined it with American steakhouse vibes for this all-in-one steak frites salad.

Whether you’re planning the cherry-on-top dessert to your romantic date night or the centerpiece to your dinner party, crème brûlée is a dessert to impress. While it might sound like the fanciest of desserts, don’t let the name fool you—it’s surprisingly easy to make at home! First time making this classic dessert? We’ll guide you through every step of the way, from the water baths to tempering your eggs to the sugar torching (arguably the best part of this dish, TBH).

That’s right, the Windy City, celebrated for creating colossal deep-dish pizza, has a lesser known thin crust pizza subculture. The cornmeal (added beneath the dough in the skillet) is indispensable for its signature texture, and you’ll likely find the pizzas cut into squares, not triangles. The sauce and cheese go right up to the edges of the dough, so the perimeter gets nice and crispy.

Steak au poivre, or pepper steak, is a classic French-style steak. It's coated in crushed peppercorns that, when seared, creates a beautiful and crisp crust. The steak is finished with a cream-based pan sauce that balances out the pepper perfectly. It's typically made with filet mignon, but you can always use an NY strip instead.

French bread is an easy homemade bread that's perfect for any use. It's great to rip apart and eat as is, sliced open for sandwiches like a banh mi, or toasted for garlic bread. It's an all-purpose bread that gets better every time we make it and would likely make a mean McBaguette!

Okay, so this is clearly not a Kir Royale (which is Champagne + creme de cassis), but we like to think of this mimosa as our Delish x Emily in Paris-inspired spin on one as it's just as tart and sparkling as the classic cocktail. Adding sorbet and Chambord, a raspberry liqueur, puts them over the top and makes sure you'll be crowned the *brunch queen*.

Like their sweet cousins, crêpes, galettes hail from Brittany, France. Because they're made with buckwheat flour, galettes are extra nutty, making them perfect for pairing with savory fillings for a quick dinner this fall. Here, they're filled with a classic ham, egg, and cheese combination, known as "galette complète" in French, but feel free to switch it up if you like.

Rustic French galettes are much easier to make than pie, but have all your same favorite elements like buttery crust and sweet fruit filling. Don't worry if yours isn't perfect—they're supposed to look homemade!

With a cream and white wine sauce that's made in the same pan as the chicken and veggies, this French classic is simple and indulgent all at the same time. The sauce in this dish is pure heaven too—you'll want to pour it over everything. It might just rival the one in our Tuscan butter gnocchi, which is one of our most popular sauces ever. This chicken thigh dish is an easy weeknight dinner that will really be the highlight of your week.

A croque monsieur is a delectable French sandwich featuring Gruyére and a silky béchamel sauce poured over top. Turning it into a breakfast casserole not only makes sense, but makes it easier to put together. You'll soon discover how simple it is to serve a crowd in the morning. It’s the savory version of French toast casserole and is perfect for your next brunch.

Coq au vin, or rooster with wine, is a classic French dish that isn't as complicated as it sounds. Chicken is braised in a silky wine sauce and finished off with butter. Use a nice red wine here and even better if it's from Burgundy! Bacon, mushrooms, and pearl onions give this dish so much flavor and makes this one of our favorite chicken dinners to make for guests. They'll be so impressed!

Moules frites is one of our favorite easy dinners for two reasons: 1) It’s perfect for 1 or 2 people to dive into together, and 2) it’s MESSY. You’re gonna have white wine sauce spiked with chorizo dripping down your chin as you chow down tender mussels. Then you can chase it down with a crispy, salty, oily fry. Is there anything better?

While we love plenty of varieties (spinach & cheese and ham & cheese to name a few), it’s no secret that quiche Lorraine is the king of all quiches. Cheesy and bacon-y with a flaky crust, this classic recipe is basically everything you could want in a brunch spread, all in one bite.
