Delicious Knows No Time of Day

New ways to enjoy breakfast for dinner.

I am a huge supporter of the breakfast for dinner movement — although, strangely, sometimes I forget about it. This week, I figured that weeding out some strong contenders in the category would help to remind me of how easy it can be, and how delicious. My picks lean savory because that’s the kind of person I am, but there’s a pretty special sweet option in here, too. Read on for Baked Mascarpone French Toast, Red-Eyed Ham Hash, Chilaquiles with Black Bean Relish, and Eggs Florentine.


Baked Mascarpone French Toast with Cherries

For French toast that’s custardy but doesn’t fall apart, you need stale—or at least dried-out—bread. Oven-drying fresh bread gets it there pretty quickly, and the results are worth the extra time. Heat the oven to 200°F and put the bread on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until the bread is dried on the outside but not browned, 5 to 20 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your slices.
