These BEC Everything Empanadas are my go-to quick breakfast. Store-bought empanada discs are filled with scrambled eggs, cheddar, and bacon, sealed, and sprinkled with everything seasoning. From freezer to oven, they bake golden in just 15 minutes. Perfect with Edy Massihâs spicy tomato jam – or all on their own.

Dan Pelosi’s take on baked eggs combines earthy mushrooms and fresh spinach sautĂ©ed in butter, topped with eggs and cream before baking. Finished with parsley and zesty Calabrian Chili Crisps, it’s served alongside homemade Italian bread for special breakfast.
Until moving to Maine, I’d never encountered ployes â traditional French Acadian buckwheat flatbreads that bridge the gap between crepes and pancakes. They are a tasty vehicle for whatever youâd like to smear on top whether sweet or savory.
