Deviled eggs get way more exciting when you cover the egg whites in a deeply flavorful spice mix and swap out the filling’s usual mayo for yogurt-y labne instead.

These shingled sheet-pan taters are somewhere between french fries and potato chips (and heaven). Use russets to achieve a remarkably crispy-meets-creamy texture. Top them with crispy fried eggs, or go poached if you prefer.

A well-seasoned cast-iron pan is your friend here. If, despite your best efforts, the frittata sticks when you turn it out, just flip it back over so that any imperfections are hidden underneath.

The inspiration for these handheld burritos came from those served at the Santa Fe Farmers Market, in New Mexico, where they are truly the early bird's reward—feasting on a portable breakfast while scoring the pick of the produce is a magical start to the day. Though either Mexican or Spanish chorizo would work, we prefer the smoothness of the Mexican sausage and the way its flavor, rich with chiles, soaks into the potatoes. Avocado adds a fresh, bright note.
