Central Market

By now, you've mastered the breakfast taco. Here's how to build a bagel sandwich worthy of any NYC bodega. (We bet the coffee's better at your house, too.)

Take your pick from any of our freshly baked bagels, then as the bagel toasts, fry your eggs and bacon/sausage/Canadian bacon, and add sliced or shredded cheese on top of your eggs just after turning off the heat so it gets nice and melty.

Now to take it OTT: We added a toasty hash brown and a schmear of cream cheese because we're extra like that. Some swear by adding jelly for a sweet twist. And because we're in Texas, hot sauce is a given! What's your perfect bagel build?

🥵 Chasing the perfect chill? When a/c alone isn't cutting it, we turn to sweetly hydrating melons to cool down. Lower your internal temperature sip by sip with a Cucumber Honeydew Agua Fresca.

With just six strategic ingredients, you can bowl on a budget with this satisfying greens and grains bowl. Even better, it can be on the table in 20 minutes or less, and it's so good that you'll want to multiply for make-ahead meal prep.

Prep: Steam or roast sweet potatoes as you cook and slice our in-house made chicken sausage. (We used Feta and Spinach Chicken Sausage, but feel free to change it up!) Microwave Central \Market Quick Heat Grains.

Assemble: Build bowls with grains, sweet potato, sausage, arugula, and sliced avocado, then drizzle with Central Market Chimichurri Salsa.

Now is the absolute best time for you to live your peak ice cream era. Head to our freezers, check out some of our favorite ice cream brands, and get your chill on.

From protein- and probiotic-rich frozen Greek yogurt to gelato, kulfi, and locally made indulgent and creamy high butterfat content ice creams, collect them all to taste your way through these frozen finds.

Every food person knows the beauty of combining good, simple ingredients to create something far greater than the sum of its parts. Enter Le Jambon-Beurre. Start with a freshly baked crackly baguette, add a rich slathering of French butter and layer in thinly sliced Jambon de Paris. These three ingredients are essential and exquisite; a perfect 10/10 of French sandwiches, without question.

After all, a sandwich that's ordered more than 3 million times daily in France really says it all! (But if you dare to gild the lily, add cornichons and your favorite French cheese. We checked. It's okay. Bon appétit!)

We just couldn't celebrate French week without escargot! No longer just for the adventurous, escargot are a culinary symbol of France, and they're here to transport you straight to your favorite bistro. You can find these beautifully farmed escargot by the dozen— each tenderly poached in their shell and prepared with local French butter, garlic, and parsley — in our seafood freezers, ready to serve with a quick reheat.

A fresh baguette is a must, to dip and soak up all of that delicious infused butter.

Pop open these bottles of ¡El Meteoro! sauces and start smothering your breakfast tacos and burgers with tangy Bocas Del Toro, drizzling Good Food Award Winner Super Green Cremosa onto tostadas, and dipping your totopos and pizza slices in Pablo's Smoky Rojo. Less hot sauce and more "I-want-it-on-everything" sauce, you'll find that each one of this trio of sauces naturally brings out the flavor of anything you're serving it with, and keeps you wanting more.

🍑 It's peak season for sweet Texas peaches! We're celebrating these juicy local beauties by tucking in our napkins and devouring by the palmful...and pretty much any way we can think of.

A few ideas to start: Add a hint of sweetness to grilled meats with a peach-infused barbecue sauce, muddle slices into your next pitcher of sweet tea or sangria, bake up a browned butter peach cobbler, and build a peachy sundae by adding peaches, crumbled ginger snaps, and toasted pecans to your ice cream. We've got bushels of more delicious ideas where these came from...time to grab all the peaches!

Mama tried (And she sure would if she could!) but Central Market bakers are really giving her homemade goods some fierce competition lately! They're paying tribute to some of Texas' favorite flavors with new shortbread-based Pecan Pie Bars, oaty Cowgirl Cookies that are a sassy partner to our traditional Cowboy Cookies, and Pecan Praline Mini Bundt Cakes, plus returning favorites like our Peach Pecan Crisp and Texas White Sheet Cakes.

Burrata is like the crown jewel of summer salads. What better way to showcase verdant greens and juicy peak-season produce like watermelons, tomatoes, and peaches than with rich stracciatella? (Stracciatella is the dreamy mixture of stretched cheese curds and cream that is the delicious surprise that's found in every ball of burrata.)

Have fun experimenting with different salad combinations to go with burrata all summer! Arugula, peach, and red onion is a classic. Charred romaine, grilled red peppers, and anchovy is inspired. What burrata-topped salad will you come up with?
