Tips for Making Sheet Pan Eggs

Use a rimmed baking sheet. It is important to use a rimmed baking sheet so the eggs do not slide around to much. You can also use a baking dish if that is what you have.

Grease the baking sheet. It is a must to grease the baking sheet, otherwise the eggs will stick to it. You can use nonstick cooking spray or drizzle olive oil or vegetable oil on the pan and use a pastry brush to spread it.

What to Serve With Eggs Baked on a Baking Sheet

Eggs baked on a baking sheet are versatile and can be paired with a variety of sides to create a complete meal. Trust me when I say these eggs are perfect for making a breakfast sandwich but there are also many other ways to serve them.

Meats. Classic breakfast meats like bacon, sausage links, sausage patties, ham or Canadian bacon all are great options for sides.

Bread and Grains. English muffins, toast, bagels, and hashbrowns are all great options as a side dish.

Veggies. You can add veggies as a side dish when making eggs for breakfast or brunch, some of my favorites are mushrooms, bell peppers, and spinach. I like to sautee them and then serve them on top of the eggs. If I am making a breakfast sandwich I love adding avocado on it.

Fruit. Just about any fruit is a perfect side dish for serving with eggs. Melon, bananas, peaches, strawberries just to name a few.

How to Store Leftovers

Allow the eggs to cool completely. Place the individual portions in an airtight container. You can use plastic containers, glass containers, or resealable plastic bags. If stacking the portions, place a piece of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
