Our Favorite Recipe

Slice of leek and gruyere frittata on a plate with toast and mixed greens.

Choosing just one favorite recipe? Nearly impossible—we genuinely love them all. The pastries are irresistible, the Smoked Salmon Scrambled Eggs are a standout, and eggs Benedict will always have a place at the top of our list. But if we had to pick one that might surprise you with how delicious it is, it’s the Easy Gruyere Leek Frittata. At first glance, the leeks might seem like a lot, but trust us—it works beautifully. It’s quick, simple, and packed with flavor.
