Name: Baked Eggs with Cantal Cheese
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Ingredients: Butter for greasing ramekins; 6 large eggs; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg; 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar; 3 oz coarsely grated Cantal cheese (1 cup); 6 tablespoons créme fraîche; 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives; 6 (8-oz) ramekins or a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking dish

Made with airy whipped egg whites and strategically placed yolks, this dish has the soft, yolky flavor of eggs Benedict but without all the hassle. Plus it looks so gorgeous, your guests will feel extra special when it arrives at the table.

Cooks' note:

The egg yolks in this recipe are not fully cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area. If desired, continue baking eggs until yolks are set.

Recipe notes

Vodka Gochujang Pasta

This pasta has some really big energy about it. It’s so extra, it’s the type of thing you should be eating in your bikini while drinking a magnum of rosé, not in Hebden Bridge (or wherever you live), but on a beach on Mykonos.

Eggplant Roasted in Satay Sauce

Among the top tier of sauces is Indonesian satay sauce, because it is the embodiment of joy and life. In fact, this sauce is also trustworthy and highly respectful of whatever it comes into contact with—perhaps it is, in fact, the perfect friend?

Caramelized Onion Pasta

Turn humble onions into this thrifty yet luxe pasta dinner.

Baked Butter Paneer

I should address the awkward truth that I don’t use butter here but cream instead. You could, if you’re a stickler for tradition (and not a heretic like me), add a big slab of butter to the finished curry.

Our Favorite French Onion Soup

Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.

White Bean Turkey Chili

A dash of cocoa powder adds depth and richness to the broth of this easy turkey chili.

Tater Tots Tossed in Date Butter

Put these out at a gathering, and we guarantee you’ll be hearing rave reviews for a long time.

Smothered Italian Sausage

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
