Why I Love A Sheet Pan Eggs Recipe
- Effortless. Sheet pan eggs are the easiest way to make breakfast for a crowd. Just saute some favorite veggies, whisk the eggs, combine them with cheese and half-and-half, and bake in a sheet pan.
- Rich and flavorful. The meaty mushrooms, the bite of the pecorino, and the nuttiness of the gruyere all come together to create a flavorful breakfast dish.
- Customizable. Switch up your cheeses, get creative with add-ins, and/or play with seasonings. This recipe is easily tailored to fit your taste preferences.
- Easy cleanup. No more slaving over dishes. A parchment paper-lined sheet pan is way easier to clean up than an eggy skillet. Yet another reason why this dreamy breakfast recipe makes it to the top of my list of hassle-free breakfasts.
What You’ll Need
To make this sheet pan egg recipe, you only need a few simple ingredients, including fresh eggs, butter, cream, and a couple of add-ins. Please scroll to the recipe card at the end of this post for thorough instructions.
- Butter – Used to saute the onions and mushrooms. You can also use olive oil or avocado oil.
- Onion – I like to use a small yellow onion, but a white onion or red onion will also work.
- Salt & Black Pepper – A simple seasoning to enhance all the flavors of the ingredients.
- Baby Bella Mushrooms: White mushrooms would also work. If you’d like to add more vegetables, diced red bell pepper contributes a pleasant sweet taste, and thinly sliced green onions add a delicious bite.
- Eggs – I recommend using whole large eggs. If you’d like to use egg whites for 20 eggs, you would need roughly 2.5 cups of egg whites.
- Half and Half – Feel free to use heavy cream, whole milk, or 2% instead.
- Shredded Gruyere & Pecorino – You can also experiment with cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, goat cheese, or any other cheese.
How To Make Sheet Pan Eggs
This dish is the ultimate breakfast hack for the whole family, and this simple guide will show you how to make it. It’s just a fuss-free recipe that combines fresh ingredients and minimal effort for a wonderful morning meal.
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12 X 17-inch rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Sauté the veggies. Melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt, and sauté until translucent. Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender.
- Scramble. In a large bowl, whisk together the fluffy eggs, half-and-half, salt, and ground black pepper. You could also add garlic powder and freshly chopped herbs.
- Add the mix-ins. Stir in the veggies and cheeses.
- Bake. Pour the egg mixture onto the prepared half sheet pan and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Add-Ins and Variations
The best part about these sheet pan eggs is that they are endlessly customizable. Consider this recipe an outline for you to build on. Add ingredients, take them away, try a different cheese—go wild! Here are some ideas.
- Fresh herbs. I love incorporating fresh chives, parsley, and/or tarragon into the egg mixture.
- Pack in the veggies. Don’t stop at mushrooms. Add some sautéed bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach to the mix for an even heartier dose of vegetables.
- Cater to carnivores. Add cooked bacon or breakfast sausage for an extra protein boost.
- Make it spicy. A pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce would make the perfect addition for those of you who like a bit of spice.
- Tex-Mex. Fold in some grape tomatoes and cilantro and top with avocado and salsa for a south-of-the-border rendition of this crowd-friendly dish.
- Make it Mediterranean. Swap the mushrooms out for sun-dried tomatoes and Kalamata olives and go for feta cheese instead of gruyere.
Recipe Tips
- Use a rimmed baking sheet. This may go without saying, but I just want to drive the point home. To make sheet pan meals, you need a rim on your baking sheet unless you want your eggs to spill out all over the oven.
- Parchment paper. I really suggest using parchment paper here. You could get away with a good coat of non-stick baking spray or non-stick aluminum foil, but the eggs might still stick.
- Don’t crowd the pan. When sautéing the mushrooms, you want to give them plenty of room to breathe. If you overcrowd the pan, the mushrooms will release moisture and develop a rubbery texture.
- Don’t over-work the eggs. Over-beating the eggs can cause them to get rubbery as they cook. So, whisk just until the whites have mostly blended with the yolks.
- Move quickly. You want to get the eggs in the oven soon after whisking them. Whisking the eggs incorporates some air into them, which gives them a light, fluffy texture when baked. That air will slowly leave the eggs the longer they sit after whisking.
- Don’t overcook. You want to bake just until the eggs are set in the center of the pan. I recommend checking for doneness about 5 minutes before the cooking time is up.
Serving Suggestions
Make easy breakfast sandwiches and serve these sheet pan eggs with English muffins, toasted bread, or a fresh bagel. You can also bake a loaf of my focaccia bread, this no knead skillet olive bread, or roll them up and make egg wraps!
Enjoy this breakfast with mixed berries, my melon pineapple fruit salad, or this grape salad. While at it, load up on this green kale smoothie and my coffee protein smoothie.
Serve sheet pan eggs with buttermilk Pancakes, banana bread waffles, or even these tasty sunrise mimosas for a delicious Sunday brunch. These mushroom-loaded eggs make for the perfect lunch, too, when served with a green goddess salad or this very berry avocado salad.
How to Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerator. Allow eggs to cool, cut them into individual portions, and transfer them to airtight glass containers. They will keep well for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- Freezer. Cool the eggs, cut them into individual servings, freeze them on a sheet pan to firm for a couple of hours, then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months, and thaw in the fridge before reheating.
- To reheat. Arrange the desired portion/s on a baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 350˚F for 15 minutes or until heated through. If using the microwave, heat the eggs in 20-second intervals until warm.

- ¾ cup shredded gruyere
- ¼ cup shredded pecorino
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 12 X 17-inch rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.

Notes
- Add-Ins: Customize these sheet pan eggs to your liking by adding or removing ingredients. Experiment with different cheeses and mix-ins. Try fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or tarragon. Boost the veggie content with sautéed bell peppers, zucchini, spinach, or your favorite veggies. Add cooked bacon or breakfast sausage for extra protein.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent spills in the oven.
- Parchment paper is recommended to prevent sticking; non-stick spray or foil may not work as effectively.
- Avoid over-beating the eggs, which can result in a rubbery texture.
- Work quickly after whisking the eggs to maintain their light, fluffy texture.
- Bake until the center sets, as overcooking can lead to toughness. Check for doneness 5 minutes before the recommended cooking time.
