    Scallion Pancakes with Maple Syrup Slaw

    <p>Unlike Western <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/comfort-food/photos/pancake-recipes-shrove-tuesday/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">pancakes</a>, which are fluffy and cakey and come from a batter, scallion pancakes — which originated in China — are savoury and come from a dough, which is then fried, making it chewier in texture but crispy around the edges. Molly knows how to enjoy the best of both worlds and her sweet slaw brings it all together.</p> <p>Get the recipe for <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/shows/girl-meets-farm/recipe/scallion-pancakes-with-maple-syrup-slaw/22077/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Molly Yeh's Scallion Pancakes with Maple Syrup Slaw</strong></a></p>

    Cheesy Kale Breakfast Casserole

    <p>The most satisfying thing about easy-to-make breakfasts is that sometimes, it can still look quite impressive. Putting together a <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/entertaining/photos/easy-breakfast-casserole-recipes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">breakfast casserole</a> might seem like a lot of work, but it's actually far from it. And to make it even simpler, you can prep this ahead of time and bake it the following day.</p> <p>Get the recipe for <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/shows/girl-meets-farm/recipe/Cheesy-Kale-Breakfast-Casserole/23201/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Molly Yeh's Cheesy Kale Breakfast Casserole</strong></a></p>

    Mini Quiches with Peas and Bacon

    <p>They may be individual tarts — packed with smoky bacon, sweet peas, eggs and cheese — but that doesn't mean you can't have more than one. The best part, though, is these work great as leftovers. Just reheat and chomp away, or if you must, use a knife and fork for a more dignified meal.</p> <p>Get the recipe for <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/shows/girl-meets-farm/recipe/mini-quiches-with-peas-and-bacon/22079/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Molly Yeh's Mini Quiches with Peas and Bacon</strong></a></p>

Corned beef hash is delicious in its own right, but in <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/everyday-cooking/photos/waffle-recipes-need-try/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">waffle form</a>?

    Mini Kale Shakshuka

    <p>This isn't your grandma's shakshuka, as the <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/healthy-eating/photos/10-best-ways-to-cook-kale/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">kale</a> gives this classic dish an update, the yogurt adds a much-needed creamy component yet the flavours are still similar. If you don't have cast-iron cocettes, one pan will do; they just won't be as cute. As long as it tastes good, though, that's what's most important.</p> <p>Get the recipe for <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/shows/girl-meets-farm/recipe/Mini-Kale-Shakshuka/23207/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Molly Yeh's Mini Kale Shakshuka</strong></a></p>
