Recipe: Veggie-Packed Tater Tot Breakfast Bake — Recipes from The Kitchn

My love of tater tots is eternal. I'll gladly eat them any time of day, including for breakfast — they're basically hash browns, right? — so of course I think using them to crown an egg casserole is ingenious.

Here, they bake up golden-brown and crunchy, covering a custardy egg layer full of tender broccoli, sweet bell pepper, and sharp cheddar cheese. A square of this savory breakfast bake has it all — veggies, protein, and starch — and it's a great way to start any morning or feed a hungry crowd.

This recipe is as fun to assemble as it is to enjoy — there's just something wonderful about hollowing out a crusty loaf of bread and filling it with fresh, springtime goodies.

If smoked salmon and capers don't suit you, feel free to substitute whatever does, like crumbled bacon, tomatoes, marinated artichokes, or fresh pesto — it's hard to go wrong with egg boats.

How To Make the Best Classic Coconut Cake from Scratch — Baking Lessons from The Kitchn

My love affair with Southern-style coconut cake happened 10 years ago — just after I moved to Atlanta, Georgia, and began working on a little TV show called Good Eats. My very first bite of coconut cake made me fall in love with its steep peaks of fluffy frosting, tender white cake, and halo of freshly shaved coconut.

But here's the secret: That coconut cake required several days of work from a kitchen intern (me). I vowed to someday make a coconut cake of that caliber with less fuss. Well, my friends, that day has arrived!
