Sheet Pan Eggs Ingredients
Sheet Pan Eggs Ingredients
  • Eggs + Egg Whites – Using a mix gives you plenty of protein with a lighter texture (and keeps the eggs fluffy without being too heavy).
  • Cottage Cheese – Blended in for extra protein and creaminess, it’s the secret to eggs that feel rich without much added fat.
  • Canadian Bacon – Adds a savory, smoky flavor and a boost of lean protein to balance out the veggies.
  • Red Bell Pepper – Bright color, a little sweetness, and extra crunch make these eggs feel fresh and vibrant.
  • Onion – Brings depth of flavor and a subtle savory bite that rounds everything out.
  • Colby Jack Cheese – Melts beautifully for a gooey finish, and the mild flavor pairs perfectly with the veggies and bacon.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Sheet Pan

  • Preheat oven to the right temperature: 350°F.
  • Line a half sheet pan or rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray or olive oil. This extra step ensures minimal cleanup and prevents sticking.

2. Make the Egg Mixture
