Sheet Pan Mothers Day Brunch
When you cook a complete brunch (sausage, French toast, fruit topping and all) on two sheet pans, you say good-bye to juggling multiple pans and timers. This recipe is easy enough that the kids can help make it, but elegant enough to make it feel special. Plus, cleanup is a breeze.
