Make a large batch of fluffy, customizable sheet pan eggs using your oven. This low-mess recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd, meal prepping for the week, or quickly assembling breakfast sandwiches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (optional, for high protein)
  • 1/2 cup milk or half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or green onions
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray for the pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard half-sheet pan (about 18×13 inches) with butter or cooking spray.
  2. If using cottage cheese, blend the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl until mostly smooth. If skipping cottage cheese, simply whisk the eggs and milk with seasonings.
  3. Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared sheet pan.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheese and chopped chives evenly over the top of the eggs.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and lightly golden. The total cook time will be around 20 to 25 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice the egg bake into squares. This recipe yields about 12 to 15 servings.
  8. Use these squares immediately for breakfast sandwiches or store them for your breakfast meal prep solution.

Notes

  • For added flavor and color, add 1 cup of finely chopped cooked bacon, ham, or sautéed vegetables like bell peppers and onions before baking.
  • To make breakfast sandwiches, place one egg square on a toasted English muffin or roll with your favorite condiments.
  • These baked egg squares freeze well. Cool completely, wrap individually, and freeze for up to one month. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
