Eggs Benedict Light
Greek yogurt is the base of this thick and creamy version of hollandaise sauce and just a touch of mayonnaise and butter give it some richness. We’ve also subbed in whole-wheat English muffins for a little fiber and whole-grain oomph. Eggs Benedict without the guilt—at last!

Shirred Eggs
Something magical happens when you bake eggs with cream: They turn into a dense, silky custard, becoming much more than the sum of their parts—plus, they’re super fast.

French Toast Bites
We love this kid-friendly French toast created by Cindy Bates. Regular French toast can be soggy in the middle, but bite-size cubes mean more crispy surface area.
