Honey Almond Granola
This honey-sweetened gem bakes up a little less crunchy than a sugar-sweetened granola. For added crispness, turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and let the granola cool there. Stored in an airtight container, it will keep for at least three weeks.

Broiled Grapefruit with Honey, Vanilla & Cardamom
Grapefruit halves are a breakfast classic, but adding just a few intense flavorings and then broiling elevates them to a whole new level of deliciousness.

Recipe
Turkey & Sweet Potato Hash
Thanksgiving leftovers are as much a part of the holiday tradition as the turkey itself. You probably already have a few favorites when it comes to using up the bird, but if you're looking for something new this year, try this hash. If hash for breakfast isn't your thing, pair it with a salad for lunch or dinner.

Recipe
Fried Ham with Redeye Gravy
To make this southern classic, you simply fry slices of ham and then deglaze the pan with coffee to make the redeye gravy. Usually it’s made with fatty country ham, but the glazed baked hams from this issue tend to be leaner than country ham, so we’ve tweaked the recipe to make up for the missing fat. It may not be traditional, but it still makes a tasty and quick breakfast or weeknight supper.

Apple, Sage & Fennel Breakfast Sausage

Recipe
Salmon Hash with Dilled Crème Fraîche
We love this hash for its luscious contrast of crusted potatoes and tender, moist salmon. An egg topping is the crowning touch, although it’s just as good without.

Chocolate French Toast

Recipe
Buttermilk Pancakes
These have become a weekend breakfast staple in our house, and they’re so easy to make that they show up on weekdays occasionally, too. I use oil instead of melted butter in pancake batter because I don’t like the way melted butter congeals when it meets cold eggs and buttermilk. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.

Recipe
Hazelnut Waffles
To maximize the toasty hazelnut flavor that makes these waffles special, make the batter no more than 2 hours in advance and cook the waffles just before sitting down to eat. To keep the first batches warm while you finish cooking the last of the batter, spread (rather than stacking) the waffles directly on a rack in a 200°F oven. Or, bring the waffle maker right to the table and cook them to order.

Recipe
Classic Water Bagels
A tight, perfect crumb. Honor it with a smear of cream cheese, a layer of lox, and a thick slice of a juicy, ripe tomato. Be sure to use instant or quick-rise yeast (available in most supermarkets)—not active dry.
