Ingredients For Sheet Pan Eggs

- 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.

Add-Ins & Variations For Scrambled Eggs
One of the great things 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 for you.
- 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/or 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 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 instead of gruyere.
Tips for Success
- Use a rimmed baking sheet. This may go without saying but I just want to drive the point home. 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-beat 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.
What to Serve with Sheet Pan Eggs
Don’t let these eggs face the world alone! They are even better when enjoyed with other culinary masterpieces. Here are some of my favorite ways to do it.
- Toast or bagels. Keep it simple and serve these eggs with a side of toasted bread or a fresh bagel. But you can also bake a loaf of my Focaccia Bread or this No Knead Skillet Olive Bread.
- Fresh fruit. Enjoy this breakfast with a side of mixed berries, my Melon Pineapple Fruit Salad with Berries, or this Grape Salad.
- Smoothie. I love the juxtaposition of a fresh, fruity smoothie next to this rich, savory, eggy delight. Lately, I’ve been loading up on this Green Kale Smoothie and my Green Berry Smoothie.
- Brunch time. Serve sheet pan eggs with Buttermilk Pancakes, Banana Bread Waffles, or even these tasty Sunrise Mimosas for a delicious Sunday brunch.
- Green salad. These mushroom-loaded sheet pan eggs make for the perfect lunch when served with a simple salad such as my 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 an airtight container. 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.
