10 Things You Never Knew You Could Make in a Muffin Pan
Updated: Jan. 05, 2022Muffin pans, they're not just for breakfast anymore! Here are the best spins on traditional favorites.
Meat Loaf
Meat loaf is definitely a classic American comfort food. However, when the typical bake time is over an hour, it’s not going to be your first weeknight dinner pick. Bring in the muffin pan and you cut that bake time in half. (Need a new one? Try our Taste of Home model.) This dish has all the comfort, but a fraction of the wait.
Eggs Benedict
If you want to impress your brunch guests, eggs Benedict is a classic breakfast dish you should serve. The simple solution? Eggs Benedict made in a muffin pan. This is a recipe you can prepare ahead of time, too. Here are even more genius uses for your muffin pan.
Pizza
Making pizza in a muffin pan is just plain delicious fun. It’s also a great way to get your kids involved in the kitchen. These little munchies are great for portable lunches and easy appetizers when it’s your turn to host.
Pot Pie
Personal-sized pot pies are a brilliant invention. They’re simple to prep, quick to cook and easy to clean. Whether for supper or for fun, you’ve got to try these fun muffin tin pot pies.
Frittata
Grab-and-go breakfasts made ahead of time make our lives much easier. Baking a frittata in a muffin pan gives a crisp outside and a soft, tender center with every mouthful. Make a batch and have breakfast ready for the whole week.
Lasagna
Layering lasagna can take some patience and practice to master, but lasagna in a muffin pan is practically foolproof. Each muffin pan lasagna turns out with ease and in half the time of a traditional pan-sized lasagna.
