How to Make Sheet Pan Eggs
In addition to the ingredients listed above you will need a mixing bowl, spatula, and baking sheet. Here is a step-by-step guide for making these delicious sheet pan eggs!
Add Filling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and generously grease a half-sheet baking sheet (13×18) with cooking spray. Arrange the cooked sausage, bell pepper, tomato, spinach, and green onions evenly around the baking sheet. This is a great recipe to customize so feel free to change things up and add different veggies you love.
Mix Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the vegetables. Then, using a spatula or spoon, evenly distribute the egg mixture. Top with the cheddar cheese.
Bake
Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the eggs are set and cooked through in the middle. Then cut into squares, and you are ready to serve!

Tips and Tricks
- The importance of generously greasing the pan can’t be overstated for this recipe to avoid sticking.
- If preparing for kids, use cookie cutters to cut out fun shapes.
- Customize the eggs by adding or subbing bacon, ham, or another protein.
- Don’t use more veggies than called for in the recipe. Excess veggies can create too much moisture in the mixture.
- To avoid making a mess, set the baking sheet on a pulled out oven rack before adding the egg mixture. Then carefully slide the oven rack back into the oven to bake once the mixture is added.
- This recipe is ideal for a gathering, but you can also cut into smaller squares to place on a biscuit, chaffle, bagel, etc.
- If you don’t have a half-sheet baking sheet, divide this recipe between 2 smaller baking sheets.
