Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
- First, you'll want to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This gives your eggs a perfect chance to set while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Sheet
- Grab a large, rimmed baking sheet and either grease it with cooking spray or brush it lightly with avocado oil. This will help prevent sticking and ensure easy serving later on.
Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and red bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender. Add the minced garlic in the last minute of cooking to avoid burning. Let this fragrant mix cool slightly.
Step 4: Mix the Eggs
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 18 eggs into a large bowl. Add 1/3 cup of milk, and season with a good pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well combined—bubbles on the surface denote that air has been beaten in for a fluffier texture.
Step 5: Add the Vegetables and Cheese
- Once the sautéed veggies have cooled down slightly, fold them into the egg mixture along with 1 cup of shredded cheddar. Don't forget to sprinkle in that pinch of smoked paprika! This step transforms every bite.
Step 6: Pour and Bake
- Pour the entire egg mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set. You want them to be lightly golden on top.
Step 7: Slice and Serve
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the sheet pan eggs cool for a couple of minutes. Slice them into squares and serve warm. Don’t forget to garnish with the freshly chopped parsley! The bread and mashed avocado on the side create a beautiful brunch spread.

Notes
- Use Fresh Eggs: Fresher eggs yield better flavor and a delightful texture.
- Chop Veggies Small: To ensure even cooking, chop your vegetables into small pieces.
- Customize Your Cheese: Don’t like cheddar? Swap with feta or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
- Bake Carefully: Keep an eye towards the end of the baking time; ovens can vary, and you don’t want a dry egg.
