Chef John's Croissants

I wouldn't describe making homemade croissants as easy since there are multiple steps, and it does take at least half a day. But it's really not that hard either; and certainly simpler than flying to Paris, which is the only other way to enjoy these amazing pastries. This croissant recipe, with a helpful video, was adapted from one by Bruno Albouze, from The Real Deal (which he is).

"Tadpole in the Hole" - Breakfast Sausage and Kale Dutch Baby

This miniature version of toad in a the hole features small adorable breakfast sausages. I also added kale to the 'breakfast pool' our little tadpoles will be swimming in which will make this more nutritious (and delicious).

Chef John's Dutch Babies

A delicious dutch baby recipe. I've always been fascinated by how many different breakfast foods you can create using just milk, eggs, and flour; and this is one of the more interesting examples. Especially considering the unusual, and borderline disturbing name. Sometimes called German pancakes, these have very little to do with Germany, and nothing to do with the Dutch. Apparently, they were invented by German immigrants who were referred to as Dutch.

Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

These baked garlic Parmesan wings are super crispy because the chicken is cooked in a flavorful liquid before baking, which helps season them and produce a texture in the oven that your guests will swear came straight out of a deep fryer.

Spicy Salami Spread (Nduja)

I'm not saying this spicy salami spread is as good as traditional nduja, but it does take about 3 months' less time to make while still delivering most of the characteristics that make the Calabrian delicacy so amazing. And just in case you're not familiar with nduja, a few of those characteristics are a rich, spicy, super-savory flavor, and soft, luxurious texture. Present as a self-serve spread next to toasted bread or top with herbs for a crostini appetizer.

Spanish-Style French Toast (Torrijas)

Spanish-style French toast, or torrijas, is basically French toast, bread pudding, and creme brulee all rolled into one, and it is nothing short of magical.

Jerk Chicken Wings

These jerk chicken wings are so flavorful, different, and delicious that I may have eaten my last Buffalo wing. Okay, I didn't mean that, but these are amazing and have the perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. I'm usually pretty casual about you changing my recipes, but I insist you not change any of the key ingredients, which are every one of them.

Baked Stuffed Brie with Cranberries & Walnuts

This baked Brie with cranberries is beautiful. One of the most common mistakes people make when serving cheese is not letting it come to room temperature first so all the flavors can be fully realized. This stuffed Brie takes that principle to the next level.

Chef John's Green Goddess Dressing

This green goddess dressing recipe makes a creamy, herby, and delicious salad dressing. It's also one of my favorite dips. You can tweak the acidity with more or less lemon and adjust the salt and pepper, but please do not change the trio of herbs. The way the parsley and chive play against the sweet tarragon makes this unlike any other herb dressing.

Artichoke Hearts Gratin

Use artichoke hearts for an easy, all-veggie appetizer idea that is proof you don't have to make a dish, to reinvent it.

Duck Rillettes

Making duck rillettes is one of the most amazing culinary magic tricks of all time. Even though most of the spread is made up of fairly lean duck meat, by emulsifying it in a little butter, duck fat, and duck gelatin, you'll swear the final product has the fat content of the finest foie gras torchon. By the way, I miss foie gras torchon.
