Sheet Pan Eggs Recipe

When it comes to breakfast, I often find myself caught in the same old routine. Eggs, toast, or some form of cereal end up on my plate more often than I’d like to admit. Sometimes, though, you need to shake things up. Enter sheet pan eggs.

Ingredients
  

  • Cooking spray
  • 18 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup sliced cremini or button mushrooms
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red bell peppers
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • A pinch of smoked paprika
  • Bread slices
  • Mashed avocado
  • Fresh parsley

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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.
Prep Ahead: You can pre-chop vegetables and mix the egg base the night before. Just add everything to the baking sheet before popping it in the oven.
