Make a large batch of these easy sheet pan eggs for a simple, high-protein breakfast. Bake them on a single sheet pan for quick cooking and minimal cleanup, perfect for meal prep or feeding a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (optional, for high protein)
  • 1/4 cup milk or water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray
  • Optional additions: 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a standard 13×18 inch half sheet pan with butter or cooking spray. For easier cleanup, line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese (if using), milk or water, salt, and pepper until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy. If you are adding cottage cheese, whisk until it is mostly broken up but some small curds remain for texture.
  3. Pour the egg mixture onto the prepared sheet pan, spreading it evenly.
  4. If you are adding optional ingredients like vegetables or cheese, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the egg mixture now.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and no longer jiggly. Cooking time depends on your oven and the thickness of the egg layer.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Let the eggs cool on the pan for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Slice the baked eggs into squares or strips suitable for your needs, such as fitting onto sandwich rolls.

Notes

  • For the easiest cleanup, always use parchment paper on your sheet pan.
  • To make breakfast sandwiches, slice the cooled eggs into portions that fit your bread, English muffins, or rolls.
  • You can freeze cooked and sliced sheet pan eggs. Place parchment paper between layers in a freezer-safe container. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
  • This recipe is easily scaled up for a crowd by using two sheet pans.
