The Week’s Most-Saved Recipes, According to Bon Appétit
As of August 7, 2026, Bon Appétit readers have been saving their favorite recipes at a rapid clip. The list includes something for every craving—from a quick and cheesy omelet roll-up and tomato focaccia to make-ahead baked oatmeal loaded with grated carrots, apples, and plump raisins, plus a five-minutes-top morning fix. And while turning on the oven in summer may not be your first instinct, the two bakes below are worth it: one ribboned with a magenta plum compote, and an all-time favorite blistered dish that one reader reports, “My partner and I ate almost half of it in the first 15 minutes.”
Breakfast and Bakes That Earned a Save
Make-Ahead and Five-Minute Mornings
For busy mornings, BA’s most-saved list has you covered. The warm and cozy baked oatmeal studded with grated carrots, apples, and raisins is the make-ahead breakfast your schedule needs. There’s also a recipe designed for mornings when you have five minutes—tops. And don’t overlook the quick and cheesy omelet roll-up, an easy way to start the day.
Oven-Worthy Bakes
Even in summer, a few bakes earn a spot. One standout features dramatic choux layers and fruit-rippled cream, described as “the drag queen of Polish desserts.” Another, a tomato focaccia, makes peak tomatoes the star. The list also includes a bake ribboned with a magenta plum compote—plus the all-time favorite blistered dish that disappeared in 15 minutes, according to one couple.
Weeknight Dinners Worth Saving
