Patty melts, chilaquiles, and more options for curing the morning blues.
Swiss Hash Browns (Rösti)
If Plato had imagined hash browns, they’d have been rösti: fresh potatoes coarsely grated, pressed, and fried. In the dish’s native Switzerland, recipes include bacon, rosemary, caraway seeds, eggs, pasta, cheese, even coffee. These variations can be delicious, but we found the definitive version in Bern, at Restaurant Della Casa—golden, impeccable, ideal. Get the recipe for Swiss Hash Browns (Rösti) »

Classic Eggs Benedict
Adding a generous amount of vinegar to the poaching liquid–a restaurant trick–helps the eggs form into perfect spheres, and making the hollandaise in a blender whips the sauce into a smooth, emulsified state. See the recipe for Classic Eggs Benedict »
Chilaquiles (Salsa-Simmered Tortillas)
Canned chipotle chiles and chorizo are two of the ingredients that distinguish this central Mexican version of chilaquiles from other regional styles of the dish.

Roasting the potatoes for this hash separately gives them a crisp texture without the addition of extra fat.
This Yucatan-style breakfast dish, topped with peas, ham, and Gouda or Edam cheese, has a spicy habanero and tomato sauce.
Mexican Bean and Cheese Sandwich (Molletes)
The bolillo, a French-style crusty white bread roll from Mexico, is the traditional foundation of this comforting dish, but a kaiser or most any other sandwich roll will work well.
