- Olive Oil: I prefer olive oil but you can also use vegetable oil or canola oil instead. It's necessary to keep everything from sticking but also aids in cooking the potatoesand veggies.
- Eggs: You can use large eggs, egg whites, or yolks depending on your preferences. Crack them onto the tray among the other items or scramble them before pouring onto the pan.

Storage
Leftovers: Once the dish has cooled to room temperature, transfer any leftovers to an airtight container. I suggest separating any layers with a sheet of parchment paper. You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or the freezer for up to two months.
Reheat: If frozen, defrost it in the fridge before reheating. Microwave at 30 second intervals until heated through. You can also reheat a portion in a baking dish covered with foil in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes, remove foil and bake for another 3 or 4 minutes.
What to Serve with a Breakfast Bake
- Toasty Bread Options: Whole-grain bread, English muffins, cream cheese biscuits or even air fryer frozen biscuits add a delicious contrast to the soft, fluffy eggs. You can even serve them as breakfast sandwiches using the sheet pan eggs as a filling.
- Fresh Fruit or Salad: Balance the richness of the sheet pan eggs with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad. Choose a simple fruit salad with seasonal fruits or a green salad with a light vinaigrette.
- Dips and Spreads: Smoked salsa, guacamole, or a homemade spicy aioli can elevate your eggs and turn them into a mouthwatering dish.
- Smoothies or yogurt: Choose your favorite fruit and blend it with yogurt, milk, or juice for a nutritious and delicious smoothie. Alternatively, a bowl of yogurt topped with granola and fruit can be a satisfying addition to your breakfast.
- Coffee or tea: Nothing feels more comforting than a hot cup of coffee or tea to round out your hearty breakfast.
Tips
- Use a large rimmed sheet pan. This ensures even cooking and prevents any spillage.
- Grease the pan generously with oil or non-stick cooking spray to avoid any sticking.
- Adjust the baking time. It's all about how you like your eggs. Bake them for 5 minutes for runny yolks and closer to 10 minutes for a solid yolk.
- Cook in batches. We start first with the ingredients that take longer to cook, like potatoes. Then next we add the faster cooking items like eggs and vegetables later. This ensures that everything is cooked to perfection.
- Prep ahead. Chop vegetables and cook meats the night before. Store them in the refrigerator and simply arrange them on your sheet pan when you're ready to cook.
