This easy sheet pan recipe makes a hearty breakfast with little meal prep. You only need to place the ingredients on a rimmed baking sheet and cook them in the oven.
Our recipe combines baked eggs in a sheet pan with meat and vegetables for a well-rounded meal. We add bacon, spinach, broccoli, and tomatoes. But you can change the ingredients to suit your preferences.
Instead of bacon, you can bake sausage or ham in the pan. You can also change the vegetables to other favorites like squash, zucchini, or asparagus. No matter what you choose to include, you'll have a flavorful breakfast that you can quickly whip up in no time.
Reasons to Love
- Saves Time and Effort in Cooking. It's an easy way to cook multiple servings of eggs, bacon, and vegetables together without having to tend to each one individually.
- Easy Cleanup with Only One Dish to Wash. Since you're only using one dish, there are fewer pots and pans to clean up after cooking. Plus, if you line your sheet pan with foil before baking, cleanup becomes even easier as all you have to do is dispose of the foil.
- Can Be Customized to Personal Preferences. You can add different ingredients, such as cheese, other vegetables, or bacon bits. You can also season your eggs with any other spices that you prefer.
Ingredients
The primary ingredients for the recipe are eggs. All the other ingredients can be changed to suit.
Here are the ingredients that we use in the sheet pan eggs recipe:
- bacon
- baby spinach
- eggs
- cherry tomatoes
- broccoli
Scroll down to the recipe card for quantities used.
Instructions
To start, preheat the oven and gather your ingredients. Then, line your baking sheet with foil or a silicone mat to make cleanup easier.
Separate the slices of bacon and arrange them evenly spaced on the prepared sheet pan.
Bake the bacon until cooked but pliable.
Arrange the cooked bacon into a square on the baking sheet. Fill the bacon square with spinach leaves. Then make 4 holes in the and crack an egg into each.
Sprinkle the tomato halves and broccoli around the eggs on the baking sheet. Bake until the eggs are set to the desired doneness.
Variations
There are endless possibilities for customizing sheet pan eggs to suit different tastes and dietary restrictions. Here are a few examples.
- Vegetarians can omit the bacon and add extra veggies like mushrooms or red bell peppers.
- Add some spices. Try sprinkling paprika and garlic powder, or add cumin and chili powder for a Mexican-inspired flavor profile. If you like spicy food, add a dash of red pepper flakes.
- Those who prefer a heartier breakfast can include diced potatoes or sweet potatoes.
- Leave the yolks out and use only egg whites to lighten things up.
- Try it with scrambled eggs. Whisk the eggs together and pour the egg mixture into biscuit rings on the pan.
- Make it cheesy by sprinkling on shredded cheese before baking. Cheddar cheese is a classic option.
You can even make eggs over hard by flipping them in the middle of the cook time.
Tips
Here are some pro tips to get the best results.
- Preheat the Oven. Allow the oven to fully preheat before placing your rimmed baking sheet in the oven.
- Line your baking sheet to prevent sticking. Foil, parchment paper, or a silicone mat works better than cooking spray to keep the eggs from sticking to the pan.
- Avoid Overcooking or Undercooking. You need to keep an eye out for when the eggs are done. Cooking time can vary depending on the egg size and how many you cook. A good rule of thumb is to begin checking them at around five minutes.
Serving suggestions
You can serve a slice of toast on the side with a little butter or jam. Air fryer home fries go well with sheet pan eggs too.
For a little healthy fat, try adding sliced avocado to your plate. It pairs well with the salty bacon and savory veggies. A side of fresh fruit like berries, sliced peaches, or melon can add a pop of color and sweetness
If you have any leftover sheet pan eggs, don't throw them away. There are many ways to repurpose them into other meals throughout the week. Here are a few suggestions:
- Breakfast burrito: Wrap up your leftover eggs with some black beans, cheese, and salsa in a tortilla for an easy breakfast on-the-go.
- Salad topping: Chop up your leftovers and toss them over mixed greens for a hearty salad.
- Breakfast sandwich: Place leftovers in the middle of a sliced hard roll, bagel, or croissant. Add ketchup or hot sauce if desired.
Storage
To store your sheet pan eggs, let them cool down before transferring them to an airtight container or covered in plastic wrap. You can keep them in the fridge for up to four days or freeze them for longer storage. When ready to reheat, pop them in the microwave or oven until heated.
