I don’t know about you, but I’ve tried dozens of viral recipes over the years, and honestly, only a few have become staples in my meal repertoire. It’s hard to know which recipes are actually worth the hype, so I asked Tasty readers for their opinions and rounded them up in a list below. They gave recommendations for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack time, so there ought to be something that’ll strike your fancy.
Here are 20 of the most loved viral recipes readers submitted, along with some insights from the r/easyrecipes community:
1.“Protein bagels with just Greek yogurt and self-rising flour are truly amazing. They bake up so well, taste delicious, and are super versatile. I make a batch each week!”
—Piper, Instagram
2.“Sushi bakes!”
3.“Logan’s cucumber salad and kimchi recipes!”
—Colleen, Threads
4.“The one-bowl banana bread. Every time I make banana bread, I use that recipe.”

5.“I absolutely adore the viral air fryer s’mores dip. The chocolate and marshmallows are so warm and gooey with some nice and crunchy toasted graham crackers. Try them!”
—Kay, 16, Florida
6.“100% the baked feta pasta. I make that probably minimally once a month, but usually more like once every two weeks.”
“I have altered it a little bit. I use Bianco DiNapoli tomatoes, more Calabrian chilies than the original called for, and I blend it to have a smoother consistency, but this is my go-to when I haven’t gone to the store. I always have the ingredients on hand!”
—Anonymous

11.“Cinnamon roll pancakes.”
—Lucy, Threads
12.“Dubai chocolate bars.”
—Fatna, Instagram
13.“The TikTok breakfast wrap. Use a pan that’s the same size as your tortilla. Preheat your oiled pan, scramble two eggs in a bowl, add eggs to the hot oiled pan, and lay the tortilla on top of the uncooked eggs. When the eggs are firm, flip them, add cheese in a line down the middle, trifold the sides over the cheese, and cook until the cheese melts and the tortilla is at your desired crispiness.”
14.“It’s just a snack, but I still make the pickles wrapped in pan-fried cheese. It’s quick and oh-so-delicious.”
15.“I really like the lasagna soup recipe! It’s pretty simple and you can do it all in one pot if you want.”
16.“The Gigi Hadid pasta. It’s now my husband’s favorite meal.”
17.“The Emily Mariko salmon bowls — a staple in our house that my kid is obsessed with.”
18.“‘Marry Me Chicken‘ with pasta.”
