Brown-Sugar-Glazed Bacon
This brown sugar bacon recipe is not a throwback, it’s a classic.
Strawberry "Pop-Tarts"
This homemade version of the childhood favorite is absolutely incredible. Flaky pastry, strawberry preserves, and powdered sugar—what's not to like?
Scrambled Eggs with Leeks, Fava Beans, Crispy Breadcrumbs, and Parmesan
Crème fraîche or sour cream gives the scrambled eggs a rich, creamy texture. Toasted breadcrumbs and a grating of cheese are delicious finishing touches.
