While they look unassuming, these ultra-tender cookies are superbly flavorful. Appearing here courtesy of YouTube pastry chef star Claire Saffitz and her first cookbook, Dessert Person, Claire notes the cookies feature “two of the best nuggets of baking knowledge” she’s ever acquired: making the dough with sieved hard-boiled egg yolk and “toasted” flour. These two unusual ingredients yield a cookie that’s absolutely irresistible.

(30 egg

unsalted butter

(149 grams) granulated sugar

Demerara sugar

Although elegantly simple in appearance, this tart is anything but when it hits your taste buds.

A touch of salt and a scattering of pecans is all it needs to “gild the lily.”

Here's one of the easiest, tastiest "sticky buns" you'll ever enjoy. Simple biscuit dough is dropped atop a sweet/salty maple-bacon-brown sugar syrup.

These breakfast bao from contributor Joy Huang are her take on the classic Taiwanese gua bao. Packed with mirin-sweetened eggs, umami-rich soy paste, and salty pork floss, they’re especially good for breakfast, but can — and should — be enjoyed any time of day (Joy’s mom used to pack them for her school lunches). The bao themselves are slightly sweet and chewy and can be filled with any number of fillings, from popcorn chicken to lobster salad.

Potato leek tart with Gruyere and goat cheese is an elegant and versatile recipe that works as an appetizer, a light dinner, or a special brunch offering.

Potato Leek Tart With Gruyere and Goat Cheese Recipe

(1 package) puff pastry

egg, beaten

gruyere

goat cheese

sour cream

heavy cream

garlic cloves,

potatoes,

leeks, white and light green parts thinly sliced

black pepper

paprika

honey

Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the puff pastry sheets side by side on the prepared baking sheet, overlapping them slightly and cutting off any excess that may hang over the edges of the pan.

Dock the dough with a fork, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Place the gruyere, goat cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor.

Spoon half of the mixture onto the dough and spread it out in an even layer (leaving the 1-inch border free of the spread).

Shingle the potatoes and leeks over the cheese mixture. Once all has been added, sprinkle the top with any extra slices of leek.

Dollop the remaining cheese mixture on top of the potatoes and leeks.

Season the entire sheet with salt, pepper, and paprika and bake for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the puff is golden.

Remove the sheet from the oven and set aside to rest before drizzling with honey, slicing, and serving.
