How to Make Sheet Pan Breakfast

Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat individual servings in the microwave for about 1 minute or warm them in a 350°F oven until heated through.
Recipe Tips
- Cut the potatoes evenly so they roast at the same rate.
- Use a large sheet pan so the potatoes crisp instead of steaming.
- Shred your own cheese for the best melt.
- Watch the eggs closely during the last few minutes if you like runny yolks.
- Fresh herbs add a bright finish but are completely optional.
Easy Variations
- Swap the breakfast sausage for bacon, ham, turkey sausage, or chicken sausage.
- Add mushrooms, spinach, zucchini, or diced tomatoes.
- Try Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, mozzarella, or Colby cheese.
- Add sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- Serve with salsa, hot sauce, or sliced avocado.
Make Ahead
To save time in the morning, roast the potatoes and cook the sausage the night before. Refrigerate separately, then assemble the sheet pan, add the eggs and cheese, and bake fresh the next morning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen potatoes?
Yes! Frozen diced breakfast potatoes work well. You may need to reduce the initial roasting time by a few minutes.
Can I make this vegetarian?
Absolutely. Skip the sausage or replace it with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or your favorite plant-based sausage.
How do I keep the eggs from overcooking?
Start checking them after 8 minutes. Remove the pan as soon as the egg whites are set for softer yolks.
Can I freeze leftovers?
This recipe is best refrigerated. The eggs tend to change texture after freezing and reheating.
