Denny's captures the classic American diner experience, serving up budget-friendly dishes in a family-friendly atmosphere all day long. And the chain's most popular dishes revolve around breakfast. Perhaps the most famous menu item Denny's is known for is the Grand Slam breakfast combo, of which there are many. We sampled and ranked seven Denny's classic slams according to the assemblage of ingredients, harmony of ingredients, and the execution of the dish as a whole.
It's official: these lemon ricotta pancakes are my favorite weekend breakfast. They're gloriously light and fluffy, like bouncy pancake pillows, and they have a wonderful zesty flavor. Topped with blueberry compote or a drizzle of maple syrup, they're lightly sweet, bright, and delicious. You know you're going to have a good day when it starts with these lemon ricotta pancakes. 🙂
In a soft-flour tortilla wrap is a rich filling made from cage-free scrambled eggs; crisp, double-smoked bacon; pork sausage; melted Cheddar cheese; and potatoes - any one of these is sure to fill you up for the day ahead. Outside of the high protein amount, another awesome thing about this wrap is how nicely it's balanced between satisfying hunger and keeping you energized through the morning - all for 640 calories.
What happens when Nancy Silverton and Phil Rosenthal open a diner? Evidently, eight-hour-long waits, more celebrity appearances than a Saturday Night Live anniversary episode, and rumors of a secret phone number to get a table.

Fresh eggs: You'll use two large eggs per ramekin. Butter or oil: This creates a rich base that prevents sticking. For a dairy-free version, substitute with olive oil. Optional toppings: I like adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to each dish for best flavor. Baking dishes: Small ramekins or ceramic dishes work best. I use 5-inch ramekins that are just the right size for two eggs.
Here at Tasting Table, we're proud proponents of an unexpected overnight oats combo. Today, we're shining the spotlight on one avant-garde flavor idea to make your overnight oats less boring - and it stars an ingredient that tea-lovers might already have stocked in their pantries: matcha. Matcha powder can work wonders in non-bevy recipes, like this matcha pudding with sweet red bean paste, or this matcha strawberry tiramisu, and it totally belongs in your breakfast rotation.
Turns out Ina's a creature of habit; she revealed that she goes through phases of having the same breakfast, every single day, for over a decade. "I have the same thing I always have. I go for years with one breakfast, and then I switch, and I go for years with another breakfast," Ina shared with Amy. So what's her current fixation? "I always have whole-grain toast with really good butter. I love French butter. And coffee ... with milk."
