70 Make-Ahead Brunch Recipes That Make Hosting a Breeze
Though it doesn't have to be, hosting brunch can be a stressful endeavor. Like with dinner parties, the secret is in making as much of the meal as you can ahead of time. (This is especially true with brunch, since few want to spend hours in the kitchen in the early morning.) With that in mind, we've rounded up 70 recipes that can be made partially or entirely ahead of time, without suffering in quality. Options include baked french toast, quiche, muffins, frittatas, doughnuts, stratas, and more.
