Chocolate Chip and Banana Muffins

Go to Recipe

Like banana bread, these especially moist chocolate chip muffins are a great way to use up overripe bananas. Muffins are an easy baking project because there's very little prep; this batter comes together in just 15 minutes. To add extra protein and delicious crunch, chopped toasted pecans would be delicious in them, too.

Poached Eggs with Parmesan and Smoked Salmon Toasts

Go to Recipe

Dipping a crispy toast finger (the French call it a mouillette) in a soft egg yolk has to be one of life's great pleasures. "When I was a kid, I loved it," says Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Evidently, he's still fond of it because he has created an adult version that's elegant enough to serve as a first course at a dinner party: He wraps smoked salmon around half of the toasts and sprinkles the rest with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, so it melts and forms a salty crust when baked.
