Hosting brunch is one of my favorite things to do, but only when I actually get to sit down and enjoy it with everyone. The secret is having recipes that either come together fast or can be prepped the night before so the morning is completely stress free. These are my go-to brunch recipes for exactly that kind of relaxed, delicious gathering.

Five ingredients, assembled the night before, and popped in the oven in the morning. Soft, custardy French toast rolled around Nutella and baked enchilada-style in one dish.
