Something tasty this way comes. Spoilers ahead. I'm Adriana, an NYC-based freelance writer who covers all things food for Tasty, whether it's testing viral food trends, interviewing chefs, or recommending products to home cooks. It's been hard not to laugh at how wild the players go for the smoked salmon in the castle. According to Ron Funches, it's because it was one of the only significant sources of protein available at the breakfast table. This mouthwatering salmon quiche has a symphony of flavors between the smoked salmon, nutty gruyere, and lemony dill. Pretend you're in the Scottish Highlands with this vegan dish inspired by traditional Scottish stew. The dish keeps in the fridge for three to four days and can be frozen for three to four months. This main got a lot of airtime at the Black Banquet, with players convinced it had been poisoned. Cue Mark Ballas saying, "IT'S NOT THE TURKEY!" We've seen players knock back hard-boiled eggs more times than we can count, with some... interesting chewing techniques. According to Kristen Kish, the eggs on set were "hard HARD boiled." So if you want to intentionally overcook the eggs for an authentic recreation, knock yourself out. A simple side that was also served at the banquet. Boiling takes only a few minutes. Amidst all the buttery recipes, enjoy this raw salad made with juicy tomato, creamy avocado, and vibrant lime juice. The traitors and faithfuls enjoyed a similar salad at the Black Banquet. RIP Kristen. "Like a pan-fried steak, you are now resting." –Alan Cumming While smoked salmon is a coveted resource on Traitors, breakfast pastries abound. Take a stab (get it?) at this beloved French treat. Recipe: Homemade Chocolate Croissants (Pain Au Chocolat) Yam Yam might be toast toast, but you can still make these viral jam toast cookies in his honor. They include real sourdough toast and raspberry jam, along with rich white chocolate and nutty browned butter. A combination of The Traitors' famous hard-boiled eggs and the famous smoked salmon?! The world will never recover. Inspired by the danishes at The Traitors' breakfast table, these pastries are filled with luscious spiced cream cheese. Make sure they're completely cool before piping on the two-ingredient glaze. A traditional Scottish meal fit for anyone who's just spent the day rowing a boat or chilling in a coffin. Use any good-quality stew meat. Recipe: Steak Pie with Peas, Mashed Potatoes, and Gravy You know what's even better than s'mores with graham crackers? S'more with Digestive Biscuits. Just pretend there's a bonfire. While we don't know exactly what was in the red-colored antidote at the Black Banquet, there were quite a few pomegranates on the table. Play up the drama by adding edible glitter to these mocktails and serving them in vials. Did Lisa Rena give Yam Yam an air kiss? Does it actually matter? Debate it while eating these Hershey's kiss cookies, which have a fitting bloody red color. There are snakes in the grass...and tattooed on Rob Rausch's arms. Turn decorating into a group activity. These Scottish bites are easy to make thanks to store-bought puff pastry. They're crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. If the pandemic didn't get you into making sourdough, maybe Traitors will. Use the slices as a vessel for ultra-cold, unspreadable butter like the castle has. A staple on The Traitors' breakfast table, knock back some fresh fruit while waiting to see who will walk through the door. Just don't drop your fork like Rob. Dessert, but make it *murderous*. Along with their striking look, these cupcakes are black forest-flavored, a nod to the eerie woods players frequent. You can use frozen cherries for the filling, or try a thick, pre-made jam.
