Make a large batch of oven baked eggs on a single sheet pan. This recipe is simple, reduces cleanup, and is perfect for quick breakfasts, meal prep, or feeding a crowd for brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (optional, for fluffiness and protein)
  • 1/4 cup milk or water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or green onions
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or preferred blend)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray for lining 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. For easier cleanup, line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese (if using), milk or water, salt, and pepper until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
  3. Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared sheet pan. Gently spread any add-ins like chopped vegetables or cooked meat across the surface if desired.
  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The eggs are done when the center is set and no longer jiggly. Cooking time varies based on oven and desired doneness.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheese and fresh chives over the top. Let it sit for 2 minutes so the cheese melts slightly.
  6. Allow the eggs to cool slightly on the pan before slicing. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the eggs into squares or rectangles suitable for breakfast sandwiches or meal prep portions.
  7. For meal prep, cool completely, then store portions in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze individual portions wrapped tightly.

Notes

  • For the easiest cleanup, use parchment paper completely covering the sheet pan.
  • To make breakfast sandwiches, slice the cooled egg squares to fit your preferred bread, English muffins, or bagels.
  • You can customize this recipe by adding cooked bacon, diced ham, spinach, or bell peppers before baking.
  • If you prefer scrambled eggs over a solid sheet, gently stir the mixture halfway through the baking time.
