Curly-Endive Salad with Bacon and Poached Eggs

Go to Recipe

We find egg yolk cascading over curly leaves of endive to be a truly delectable sight. In fact, we wouldn't consider it unreasonable to serve two poached eggs per person rather than one. If they aren't your thing, though, substitute wedges of hard-cooked egg.

Raspberry-Swirl Sweet Rolls

Go to Recipe

In the winter, Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) fruit, is often a superior alternative to fresh fruit shipped to the US. IQF raspberries are terrific in these soft, puffy yeast rolls—a fun twist on a cinnamon bun. You can also try other frozen fruit, like blackberries, strawberries, blueberries or chopped sweet cherries.

Cornmeal Pancakes with Maple-Cranberry Butter

Go to Recipe

Because cast iron heats so evenly, F&W’s Melissa Rubel Jacobson uses it for pancakes.

Bacon, Tomato and Cheddar Breakfast Bake with Eggs

Credit: FREDRIKA STJƄRNE
Go to Recipe

This breakfast bake topped with runny eggs by F&W’s Grace Parisi develops a terrific texture as it cooks slowly in a glass dish (which makes it easy to see when the bottom is perfectly browned). As one F&W editor remarked on tasting it, “I worship the crisp bottom and the chewy, moist bread.”

Soy-Braised Turkey with Turkey Rice

Go to Recipe

To add flavor to leftover dark turkey meat, David Chang simmers it in a deeply savory combination of brown sugar and soy sauce. Cooking jasmine rice with rendered turkey fat adds a wonderful richness. The topping—pickled shallot rings—adds a pretty pink color and piquancy.
