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, jalapeño 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- Beat 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 oil. 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 375°F oven and bake for 20 minutes. Eggs should be set and not jiggly in the middle.
5. Cool + portion- Cool for 5 minutes, then serve them up!
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 375°F 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
I caution you not to go too crazy with the veggies as they do release liquid and you don't want your eggs to get too liquidy.

Storage + meal prep
