Ingredient notes
- eggs- this recipe was tested with large eggs.
- milk- helps mobilize the eggs so they spread across the pan, and also prevents the eggs from drying out while cooking; some experts recommend half and half for a richer result, and eggs that don't weep (1, 2).
- cheese- use mozzarella or cheddar, or get creative, adding something like crumbled feta, jalapeรฑo cheddar, or aged cheddar.
- add ins- for this recipe, I've used finely chopped bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, and cooked, cooled & chopped bacon. See below for more suggestions!
Step by step directions
1. Mix ingredients- Whisk together eggs, then add in milk, salt & pepper.
2. Prepare pan- Grease a good quality rimmed sheet pan (these are the ones I own!) generously with cooking spray. Make sure to use a 12 X 17 inch pan (and at least 1 inch deep)
3. Add eggs- Pour the eggs into the sheet pan, then sprinkle with any veggies, bacon, or cheese you'd like to add.
4. Bake- Place in a 375ยฐF oven and bake for 20 minutes. Eggs should be set and not jiggly in the middle.
5. Cool + portion- Cool for 5 minutes; add salt and black pepper to taste.

FAQ
These eggs come out of the pan easily, with minimal cleanup involved. With that being said, if you wanted to, you could try parchment or foil.
Yes! Wrap in plastic wrap and place in a larger storage container, and you can freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw completely, then heat in the microwave before enjoying.
Sure, but you're going to need to cut the recipe in half. Grease the pan well, and bake at 375ยฐF for 20-25 min, or until the eggs no longer jiggle.
If you finely chop your vegetables, they can be added without cooking first.
Add in ideas
If you're going to make this recipe, make sure to follow this top tip!
I caution you not to go too crazy with the veggies as they release liquid, and you don't want to add too much moisture to this dish or it will alter the texture.
- Meat: cooked bacon, sausage or chopped ham.
- Vegetables: red bell peppers, spinach, kale, finely chopped broccoli or green onions.
- Cheese: feta cheese, Monterey-jack, gruyere or gouda.
Storage + meal prep
- fridge- store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- freezer- cool completely, then carefully wrap in plastic or parchment paper. Place in a larger meal prep container or freezer bag, squeezing out as much air as you can from the bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- thaw- in the fridge overnight
- reheat- in the microwave until steaming hot.

I'm baking this right now and put the pan in the oven first and then poured the eggs in and then sprinkled veggies and cheese to avoid spilling.
Also I didn't know how muck milk to put in so a put in a healthy splash.
Denise says
Hi Rebecca, the recipe card says 3/4 cup of milk. Hope you enjoyed!
Cin says
Quick question: There is no indication as to when to add the milk. It goes in step 4, right?
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs together.
4. Stir in the eggs, salt and pepper and beat until well combined.
Denise says
Thanks for pointing that out, I've updated the recipe. It does go in step 4!
