4. Shakshuka (Our Favorite Baked Eggs Recipe)
While the origins of shakshuka are hotly debated, there is one thing we know - it’s mouthwateringly good. We always assume that breakfasts like this require a lot of time and complexity, but this recipe is surprisingly simple. And it’s incredibly easy to prepare a batch of the sauce for the week ahead and simply cook up an individual portion for breakfast each day! Trust me, if you’re not eating it, you’re missing out.

6. Homemade Baked Beans with Gluten-Free Bread
Baked beans are one of the most sentimental breakfast memories you can have.
