This egg-ceptional recipe for Sheet Pan Eggs is a healthy, protein packed way to start your day, feed a crowd or meal prep for the week.

Reasons You Will Love My Sheet Pan Eggs
- My Sheet Pan Eggs are a healthy way to start the day.

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.
Just made these for my mom who is trudging through chemo right now and struggling to find foods she can eat. These sounded like something easy and a little more protein packed than just a plain scrambled egg! Per her request I just used spinach and a small amount (little less than a cup total probably) of mozzarella cheese and omitted the salt, garlic and onion powder. Just tried a little corner before packaging up to deliver and YUM!!! Will definitely be repeating these for myself.
I am so sorry to hear about you mom. Sending healing energy her way. I hope she loves these! So, Tawnie
So fluffy, flavorful and delicious! I also made the breakfast sandwiches with the eggs and they are perfect.
Awesome!! I am soo glad, thank you!!
These are great! I made them while visiting my son and daughter-in-law, who had just had their first baby. They had friends bringing dinners while I was there. The breakfasts and lunches really needed some help and these were a hit! Hearty enough to be served individually or super simple way to make a breakfast sandwich. My daughter-in-law usually ate them by themselves or with a side of ham and my son made a sandwich out of it with an English muffin, cheese, and sausage patty.
So easy for drowsy mornings.
Thank you so much Diane, and congratulations on the new addition to the family! Such a precious time. Thinking of them and so glad they’re enjoying this for meals!! Woo!
I have made this twice now and loved it both times! I use fat free milk and it works perfect. I do turkey bacon, turkey sausage, spinach, mushroom and cheese for my toppings. The second time I was cooking for a group of friends on vacation so we didn’t have a blender and it still worked perfect hand mixing. I love having them in my fridge to reheat for an easy breakfast! My friends loved them too.
Amazing! Love the changes you made too. So glad you’re enjoyed this one. Thank you Ashley!!
Excellent, versatile and easy! I’ve been looking for an egg recipe for breakfast sandwiches and this is it!!! We made them tonight with spinach, ham and Gruyère- delicious!! They cut perfectly with round biscuit cutter. Thank you!!
Amazing!! I love the toppings you chose, sounds so yummy. Enjoy your sandwiches!! 🙂 Thank you. xo, Tawnie
