Make yours extra-special and delicious with these breakfast treats. We upgrade the usual [Sticky Buns]( which are often firm and dry, for a softer, more tender, and perfectly sweet version. If you need to free up your stovetop for eggs or other breakfast dishes, [Oven-Fried Bacon]( solves that problem and cooks more evenly than bacon would in a skillet. If you have guests at your house, [Breakfast Casserole with Chorizo and Pepper Jack]( serves a crowd, and it can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time, meaning you can spend more time with loved ones. For more breakfast ideas, check out [Omelets and Soufflés]( one of 230 courses from our [online cooking school]( or [All-Time Best Brunch]( which has 75 breakfast and brunch recipes for any occasion. [Sticky Buns]( To make softer, more tender and moist sticky buns, we add a cooked flour-and-water paste to the dough. The paste traps water, so the dough isn’t sticky or difficult to work with, and the increased hydration converts to steam during baking, which makes the buns fluffy and light. [VIEW RECIPE]( [Oven-Fried Bacon]( Cooking bacon in the oven has many advantages. First, the oven gives you a larger margin of error (a couple of minutes) than a skillet when it comes to timing. Second, the oven cooks the bacon strips more evenly—there are no raw or burnt spots. And the only thing you need to do once the bacon's in the oven is rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking. [VIEW RECIPE]( [Breakfast Casserole with Chorizo and Pepper Jack]( A breakfast casserole is convenient for a crowd, but if it's so bland and mushy no one wants to eat it, that's no help for the host. We use enough pepper Jack cheese and chorizo to flavor the dish but not so much that we’re left with a greasy, soggy mess.
