Sheet Pan Western Omelet

If you’re on breakfast duty, these sheet pan omelets are unbeatable for their ease of preparation. Omelets are hearty and filling, but standing over a stove making individual omelets probably isn’t how you want to spend a gorgeous morning at the lake—especially when everyone rolls out of bed at different times. You can serve these alongside bacon and home fries, but for my money, they make the perfect filling for a build-your-own breakfast sandwich bar! (From The Essential Cottage Cookbook by Andrea Buckett, Appetite by Random House, 2025)

While this recipe uses tofu, feel free to substitute (or add) chicken or shrimp. Transfer to a large platter and top with garnishes.

Anna's Wholegrain Pancakes
Yes, wholegrain pancakes can be fluffy, tender and tasty. Letting the batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking your pancakes allows the whole wheat flour and oats to absorb the liquid, which keeps the batter light and delicate. I usually prefer regular rolled oats in baking because they hold their shape and texture, but quick-cooking oats work equally well here because they soak up the liquid quickly and still make a fluffy pancake.
