Sheet Pan Eggs For A Quick & Easy Breakfast

These sheet pan eggs are the perfect addition to your breakfast whether you are on the go, having a restful morning, or just want something quick and delicious! These oven-baked eggs will be your go-to for feeding a handful of people with ease.

On a typical morning, you will not find me pouring a bowl of cereal or unwrapping a pop tart. Instead, I am whipping up some form of fresh eggs, usually another source of protein, and homemade sourdough with a side of fresh fruit. Since we usually keep this baseline the same, it is fun and necessary to mix it up every now and then.

It is important to me to start the day with a nourishing meal, however, I have to feed three small children, so I love an easy option. One of our most recent favorites is to make the best breakfast sandwich on my homemade sourdough English muffins.

The possibilities are endless when layering these sheet pan eggs with additional protein, cheese, avocado, condiments, and more!

What are sheet pan eggs?

Just so there is no confusion, sheet pan eggs are oven-baked eggs on a sheet pan (like a cookie sheet) until set. They are cooked all in a single layer, so you can cut to your preferred size, or grab a biscuit cutter to make circles. These are perfect for sandwiches and ready to go in under 20 minutes!

Quick: this recipe takes less than 20 minutes and most of that time is hands-free while the eggs bake in the oven! Make yourself a coffee with some extra pizzazz, while you wait.

Nutritious: eggs are a great source of protein and have a lot of health benefits since being loaded with vitamins & minerals.

Tips & Tricks

No tricks here. Seriously, so easy. But here are some recommendations.

• whenever possible use fresh pastured eggs
• don’t use too many vegetables as this can water down the egg mixture
• be very careful when transferring the pan (with the liquid egg mixture) to the oven OR
• place your sheet pan on the oven rack and very carefully pour your egg mixture onto the pan so all you have to do is slide the rack back in and shut the door.

Ingredients

Eggs: fresh, quality pastured eggs. You really could just stop there, but let’s add a bit more

Cheese: any cheese would work well with this, cheddar, cottage cheese, pepper jack, gouda

Meat: ham, Canadian bacon, sausage, steak, and so on. Don’t forget an egg’s best friend – bacon!

Veggies: spruce it up with the addition of your favorite fruit + veg or whatever you have on hand. Peppers, onion, kale, tomato

Quality salt

Black pepper

Tools you may need

Sheet pan: I recommend a 13 x 18 in sheet pan like this one. You’ll want to make sure it has a deep ledge since you will be pouring your liquid egg mixture into it.

Parchment paper: I highly recommend using a layer of parchment paper to prevent sticking. I use unbleached parchment paper like this one.

Whisk

Bowl or large measuring cup (something like this makes it easy to pour)

Pizza cutter: or a knife should work easily as well

Yes! These are great to make ahead and have on hand for a quick and easy breakfast throughout the week. You can pop them into the microwave, reheat them on the stove, or eat them cold.

How to know when the eggs are done?

The eggs should be set in the middle. You can see this by giving the pan a little shake. If the middle looks wet and jiggles, the eggs need to be cooked a bit longer.
