Are sheet pan eggs healthy?
Absolutely! These customizable sheet pan eggs are a healthy choice for several reasons.
First, they're protein-packed, thanks to the eggs, which provide high-quality protein to keep you feeling full and energized throughout the day. Studies support that consuming eggs at the start of your day can decrease your appetite significantly, leading to less snacking or mindless eating.
Second, they're loaded with quick-cooking vegetables, delivering a boost of essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber in every bite.
Finally, by using any seasonings of your choice - you can control the amount of sodium in it. If you're watching your salt intake, feel free to use salt-free seasonings.
Ingredients you'll need
Here's what makes this dish so special:
- Eggs: Just pick up a dozen (12) eggs and you'll be all set to make this recipe. Each egg has 6 grams of complete protein.
- Whole Milk: Adds creaminess and richness to the eggs, but feel free to swap with skim milk or a dairy-free alternative like unsweetened almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Quick-Cooking Vegetables: Choose from zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, or use a combo of multiple different veggies for a pop of color and nutrients. Bonus points for serving with even more veggies on top!
- Seasonings: Garlic powder, bagel seasoning, or even a dash of smoked paprika work wonders for adding more flavor-customize it to your palate.
- Cheese: You really can't go wrong with any cheese you choose. From sharp cheddar to creamy gouda, it adds a decadent, melted finish.
How to make customizable sheet pan eggs
Follow these simple steps for a no-fuss meal prep:
Preheat Your Oven
Set it to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch sheet pan. You can also use a 6x9-inch sheet pan, but you will have to bake it for a few minutes longer.
Whisk It Together
In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, diced veggies, and your chosen seasonings until well-mixed.
Pour and Sprinkle
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Bake
Pop it in the oven for 16-18 minutes, until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.
Cool and Slice
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into 12 portions for easy grab-and-go meals.
Recipe tips and tricks
- Serving Suggestions: Pair these sheet pan eggs with whole-grain toast, half of a bagel, or roasted potatoes.
- Troubleshooting: If the eggs puff up unevenly, don't worry-they'll settle as they cool.
- Scaling: Need more servings? Double the ingredients and bake in two pans simultaneously.
Customize it your way
Like all of my other recipes, this one is completely customizable. You get to choose the ingredients that suit your taste and dietary preferences:
- Veggies of your choice: Try spinach for a leafy option or diced tomatoes for a burst of freshness. Add mushrooms to make this dish even more filling and flavorful.
- Seasonings of your choice: Feel free to keep it classic with salt and pepper or experiment with different seasonings. I often like to use bagel seasoning or an all purpose seasoning for something different. You could even use Italian seasoning for a herby twist or a pinch of taco seasoning for a warm, spiced flavor.
- Cheese of your choice: Dairy-free? Use a plant-based cheese alternative or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without the dairy.
Sheet pan egg flavor combos we recommend
There are so many ways to customize these sheet pan eggs, but here's a few flavor combinations to inspire you!
- For an Italian flair: Try mozzarella cheese + sun dried tomatoes + Italian seasoning
- To hit it with lots of umami: Try parmesan cheese + mushrooms + caramelized onions
- For something more Mediterranean: Try crumbled feta cheese + spinach + roasted red peppers
Can I make these sheet pan eggs ahead of time?
Absolutely! These sheet pan eggs are literally my meal prep hero:
- Batch Cooking: Prepare them on Sunday, and you'll have a delicious, ready-to-eat breakfast all week.
- Freezing Option: Slice into portions, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 3 months.
Can I add extra protein?
Yes! Feel free to add ½ cup ground protein of your choice into the egg mixture if you'd like. Some examples would be plant-based sausage, turkey sausage, or crumbled bacon.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness. For a quick option, reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. For a crispier edge, use a toaster oven.
For long-term storage, wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap and freeze.
