Ingredient Notes
- Eggs: I like using the freshest large eggs that I can find.
- Heavy cream: For the richest, creamiest eggs make sure you use heavy cream.
- Cottage cheese: When you blend the eggs with the cottage cheese they become extra airy, and they bake up fluffy. Plus, it adds even more protein to this already protein packed breakfast.
- Onion powder: Use onion powder for an evenly dispersed oniony flavor.
- Garlic powder: Just the right amount of garlic flavor mixed evenly throughout the sheet pan eggs.
- Salt: a must in every recipe to highlight all flavors
- Spinach: I like to use fresh baby spinach. I haven’t tested this recipe out yet with frozen spinach.
- Red bell pepper: I love the slight sweetness it adds to the eggs. You can use your favorite color bell pepper.
- Cheese: I’m using a combination Monterey jack and gruyere shredded but feel free to use your favorite cheese or cheese combinations.
- Serving ideas: avocado, green onions, chives, bread or english muffins, hot sauce, parsley, etc.
Step by Step Directions
- Prepare the baking sheet.
- Blend the eggs, cream, cottage cheese and seasonings together until fully combined.
- Pour eggs onto the sheet pan.
- Top with chopped bell pepper, spinach and cheese.
- Bake, cool, then slice and serve!
Tips and Variations
- Make a breakfast sandwich! Add a portion of the Sheet Pan Eggs on top of a breakfast sausage patty or bacon, slice of your favorite cheese and a toasted English muffin for a satisfying breakfast on the go.
- Serve on top of avocado toast and garnish with fresh sprouts or arugula.
- As a no-spill option, place the parchment lined sheet pan on the oven rack, and then pour in the egg mixture. This way, you won’t have to carry the sheet pan from your counter into the oven and risk spilling the eggs.
- Mix things up with your favorite veggies. Use mushrooms, onions, fresh herbs, baby kale or broccoli. Just remember that too many veggies will add more liquid to your eggs causing them to be watery.
- I used a high powered blender to mix up the eggs, but you can use a whisk too. I find the blender method is easy since you can pour directly from the blender onto the sheet pan.
- Reheat leftover eggs in a toaster oven or a quick pop in the microwave.
FAQ
What can I substitute for cottage cheese?
If you want to maintain the same texture, then I would suggest ricotta cheese is your best substitution, although I haven’t tested this version. If you do try out another substitute, please let me know in the comments below!
Can I just use egg whites in the recipe?
Yes you can. Just remember that you will need 2 egg whites for each whole egg you replace, or ¼ cup of egg whites for each whole egg. I also have not tested this recipe with liquid egg so I cannot advise on how much to use.
How should I store leftovers?
Store left over sheet pan egg squares in a glass container with a tight fitting lid for up to 5 days. You can also wrap the completely cooled eggs in plastic wrap, and then freeze in an air tight container for up to 4 months.
Can I cut the recipe in half?
Yes! 18 eggs is a lot, so this makes for a great meal prep. But if you’re wanting to make a smaller portion, easily cut the recipe in half and use a smaller sheet pan, such as a quarter sheet.
How do I reheat breakfast sandwiches after they have been frozen?
My preferred method is in the toaster oven or oven. Place a foil wrapped sandwich in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes or until warmed through. OR you can microwave. Remove plastic wrap or foil. Place on a paper towel lined plate and microwave for 1- 1 1/2 minutes or until heated through.
How can I freeze just the sheet pan eggs?
Once cooled, add the squares to an air-tight container with layers of parchment paper between each portion of egg. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave or toaster oven in the morning.

Notes
- Recipe inspired by Feel Good Foodie.
- Storage: Store left over sheet pan egg squares in a glass container with a tight fitting lid for up to 5 days. You can also wrap the completely cooled eggs in plastic wrap, and then freeze in an air tight container for up to 4 months. OR Once cooled, add the squares to an air-tight container with layers of parchment paper between each portion of egg. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave or toaster oven in the morning.
- It’s important to use a good high quality non stick parchment paper so the eggs won’t stick. Parchment paper quality actually varies a lot and if you use a thin parchment, it runs the risk of sticking. I use these pre-cut non stick parchment paper sheets for best results.
- How to reheat breakfast sandwiches from frozen: My preferred method is in the toaster oven or oven. Place a foil wrapped sandwich in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes or until warmed through. OR you can microwave. Remove plastic wrap or foil. Place on a paper towel lined plate and microwave for 1- 1 1/2 minutes or until heated through.

Second time for this recipe-added bacon this time. Made w/o parchment paper bc I forgot to buy and squares were easy to cut and get out, pan not too messy. Used condensed milk bc I had on hand and eggs still puffed up. Such a great recipe to have in my back pocket for a large crowd of college girls! Thank you!
That sounds amazing! Thank you so much for making 🙂
Super simple & yummy! I love how easy it is to customize. I sautéd diced onion, bell peppers, and some broccoli and added some sliced chicken breakfast sausage.
I love how you added to it, yum! Looks great. thank you so much 🙂
The sheet pan recipe is a good idea. I made a pan for my fam of 3 and froze individual portions for future sandwiches. I used evaporated milk vs heavy cream and it puffed up just the same. Will def make again.
I liked how these eggs tasted — one thing I wanted to share with others who will make this recipe is that the parchment paper needs to go up the sides of the pan as well as the bottom. I only put a sheet along the bottom and the eggs mixture went under the parchment paper some and when it was done, I didn’t get an even sheet of egg because it was split between under and on top of the paper!
Very yummy eggs nonetheless 🙂
that’s a really good thing to point out, I will update it in the recipe card 🙂 thank you so much!
This recipe is perfect as it is! I did add turkey sausage for additional protein. Next week it will be turkey sausage and hatch green chiles.
These turned out amazing!!! I am freezing the eggs separately so I can toast the bread fresh the morning of. Thank you for another amazing recipe!
Dearest gentle reader, I used a 9.5×13 pan instead of sheet, they came out barely thick enough, swapped low fat Greek yogurt for the cottage cheese because I was out. Had to bake significantly longer. I think a total of about 40 minutes didn’t put any veggies but I had been looking for a ratio that would get the eggs cooked all the way through and make a big batch of square egg pieces to put in my breakfast sandwiches for my meal prep, I know I made a lot of changes but I came out good next time I’ll add cheese. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi! thank you so much for making my recipe!! Bridgerton fan or just coincidence?! haha! Since you used a significantly smaller pan and used greek yogurt, that is why the bake time was so long and texture was probably different than recipe as written. I am glad it still came out yummy for you. Thank you again!
You might want to try substituting plain greek yogurt if you have any aversion to cottage cheese ( my wife cringes at it – childhood food trauma???- but she loves Greek yogurt). I had friend who told me about adding it to pancake batter and it was fantastic. The pancakes were lighter and fluffier, melt in your mouth good, and packed with protein. I tried it in this recipe and it seemed to work great light and fluffy and tasted perfect. I also did a batch with fat free cream cheese, and it was also a winner, but harder to find fat free cream cheese these days.
I’ve been wanting to make this for a while! Finally made it this AM and holy yum! So easy and a great way to always have a healthy breakfast on hand. I added onions. Can’t wait to make again and add other veggies. These sheet pan eggs will be perfect these for make ahead breakfast sandwiches with chicken sausage and Ezekiel English muffins.
Thank you so much for this recipe! It’s tasty and easy! Definitely going to be in our weekly rotation! I’m always looking for easy, protein packed breakfast for me and my diabetic hubby!
