There are not a lot of fair foods that can actually work for a family dinner, but these pulled pork sliders are can. They’re made in a slow cooker, so there’s a built-in ease. Anyone can make these.

John E. Finn’s Chocolate Soufflé Omelet

John E. Finn’s Prosciutto, Parmesan, and Rosemary Omelet
A ham and cheese omelet is on every menu in every breakfast spot in the United States. It is easy to understand why: A ham and cheese omelet is comfort food, requires no fancy ingredients, and is simple to prepare.
John E. Finn’s Persian Eggplant Omelet (Kuku-ye Bademjan)

John E. Finn’s Sweet Omelet with Rum Sauce (Omelet au rhum)
This is Connecticut author John E. Finn’s favorite omelet (and it’s dessert!). He says he likes it more than he likes his wife, his kids, and almost as much as he likes his dog. We hope he’s kidding! Fun fact: this boozy omelet is one of the oldest of dessert omelets, simple to make and spectacular to serve.
