Make The Muffin Pan Your New Secret Brunch Weapon

Maybe you have two friends coming over Sunday morning. Maybe it's 40. Whatever the number, muffin pans help you make individual servings of bacon and eggs, frittatas, and even edible containers for yogurt parfaits and biscuits and gravy.

#Protip: Muffin pan breakfasts tend to freeze well for grab-and-go breakfasts on busy weekday mornings. Yet another reason to make extra!

7. Bacon-and-Egg Muffins
