Ingredients:
For the Sheet Pan Eggs:*
1 lb cooked sausage (pork or turkey), crumbled
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 Roma tomato, diced
1 cup chopped baby spinach
¼ cup chopped green onion
12 large eggs
¼ cup whole milk (or heavy cream for keto)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan*
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a half-sheet baking sheet (13×18 inches) with cooking spray.
Step 2: Arrange the Fillings*
Spread the cooked sausage, red bell pepper, tomato, spinach, and green onions evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Whisk the Eggs*
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4: Assemble*
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and sausage on the baking sheet. Use a spatula or spoon to gently distribute the egg mixture evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 5: Bake*
Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the eggs are set and cooked through in the middle. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Step 6: Slice and Serve*
Let the sheet pan eggs cool for a few minutes, then slice into squares and serve.
Tips:
- Use a Large Baking Sheet: A half-sheet pan (13×18 inches) is ideal for this recipe. If you use a smaller pan, the eggs will be thicker and may need additional baking time.
- Don’t Overbake: Check the eggs at the 18-minute mark — they should be set but not dry. They will continue to cook slightly after you remove them from the oven.
- Customize the Fillings: Swap the sausage for bacon, ham, or plant-based sausage. Add mushrooms, zucchini, or any vegetables you like.
- Make It Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free milk and skip the cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.
- Serve with Toppings: Top with avocado, salsa, hot sauce, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve with toast, English muffins, or biscuits.
- Pair with fresh fruit or a side salad.
- Add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.
Storage Options:
- Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat.
- Freezer: Sheet pan eggs freeze well for up to 2 months. Cool completely, slice into portions, wrap individually, and freeze. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat.
Sheet Pan Eggs are a simple, delicious, and versatile breakfast option that makes mornings easier and more delicious. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or meal-prepping for the week, this recipe is a must-try. Enjoy!
