Make a week’s worth of breakfast fast with this easy sheet pan eggs recipe. Bake a large batch of fluffy eggs on one pan for quick cleanup, perfect for meal prepping breakfast sandwiches or feeding a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (optional, for high protein)
  • 1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for greasing pan)
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup chopped ham, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 13×18 inch rimmed baking sheet with melted butter or line it with parchment paper for the easiest cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese (if using), milk or cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined and slightly frothy. If you are using cottage cheese, whisk until it is mostly broken up for a smoother texture.
  3. Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared sheet pan.
  4. If using add-ins, gently sprinkle them over the top of the egg mixture.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and no longer jiggly. The exact time depends on your oven and whether you added extra ingredients.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Let the eggs cool on the pan for about 5 minutes.
  7. Slice the baked egg into squares or rectangles suitable for your breakfast sandwiches. This recipe yields about 15 servings.
  8. Use immediately for breakfast sandwiches or cool completely before storing for meal prep.

Notes

  • For the absolute minimal cleanup hack, use parchment paper that extends slightly over the edges of the pan.
  • To make these eggs freezer-friendly for make-ahead breakfast, cool the slices completely, wrap individually in plastic wrap, and place in a freezer bag. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.
  • If you prefer scrambled eggs instead of a solid sheet, gently stir the mixture halfway through baking, around the 10-minute mark.
