Fluffy Egg White Omelette (Soufflé-style)

Here's a recipe for a truly spectacular egg white omelette. It's so fluffy and soufflé-like, stuffed with asparagus and prosciutto.

Soufflé Omelette With Cheese

Much simpler than a classic soufflé, this soufflé omelette is cooked in a skillet on the stovetop and requires little more than eggs, cheese, and a couple of extra minutes to beat the whites.

French Omelette With Cheese

A classic French omelette has a smooth, silky exterior with little to no browning that cradles a tender, moist, soft-scrambled interior. The technique for making one is something every cook should learn—as long as you know these key steps, it's easy. This version is stuffed with your choice of cheese.

French Omelette With Fines Herbes

A classic French omelette has a smooth, silky exterior with little to no browning that cradles a tender, moist, soft-scrambled interior. The technique for making one is something every cook should learn—as long as you know these key steps, it's easy. This version is flavored with minced fresh herbs, like parsley, chives, and tarragon.

Baked Eggs With Creamy Greens, Mushrooms, and Cheese

Three kinds of leafy greens combine with mushrooms, garlic, leeks, mustard, and spices to form the base for a baked-egg dish that's a bit like an omelette turned inside out. It's an ideal recipe for brunch, or really any meal of the day.

Mushroom and Gruyère Eggs en Cocotte

These easy, individually baked eggs start with a base layer of mushroom duxelles and are topped with a coating of melted Gruyère cheese. The duxelles is made by sautéing minced mushrooms, shallots, and garlic in butter with thyme until they've released all their liquid and then browned and deepened in flavor. A splash of cream adds a silky richness.

Fried Eggs With Ramps, Morels, and Bacon

There's not really much to say about fried eggs with ramps and morels sautéed in butter (and a little bacon fat), other than that, with the exception perhaps of a perfectly fresh everything bagel with cream cheese, it's my favorite breakfast.

Spring Ramp and Asparagus Frittata

When you have amazing seasonal produce, a frittata is one of the best, and easiest, ways to showcase it. In this version, fresh-picked asparagus and ramps add a juicy green bite that's as pure a celebration of spring as you can get.
