Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 18 large eggs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Dairy:
- ¼ cup half and half or milk
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh chives, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C), positioning the rack in the center to ensure even cooking.
- Meticulously prepare a 12×17 inch rimmed sheet pan by coating it with cooking spray, layering with parchment paper, and spraying again to prevent sticking.
- Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl, gently whisking them until they are uniformly combined without creating excessive foam.
- Pour half and half into the egg mixture, seasoning with salt and pepper, then whisk briefly to achieve a smooth, well-integrated consistency.
- Transfer the egg blend to the prepared sheet pan, using a spatula to distribute the mixture evenly across the entire surface, creating a thin, uniform layer.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese and freshly chopped herbs over the egg base, allowing them to settle naturally on top.
- Carefully slide the pan into the preheated oven, maintaining a steady hand to prevent spillage.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, monitoring the edges for golden coloration and checking the center’s firmness with a toothpick that should emerge clean when inserted.
- Remove from the oven and let the sheet pan eggs rest for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to set slightly before slicing into squares.
- Serve warm, offering a delightful breakfast or brunch option that can be easily portioned and enjoyed.
Notes
- Crack eggs gently in a large bowl or blender to maintain a light, airy texture without creating unwanted froth.
- Blend half and half with salt and pepper quickly to ensure a smooth, consistent seasoning throughout the egg mixture.
- Spray your sheet pan generously with cooking spray, then layer parchment paper for easy release and effortless cleanup.
- Spread the egg mixture evenly across the pan, creating a canvas for your favorite cheese and herb toppings.
- Bake until the eggs are perfectly set, testing with a toothpick to guarantee a fluffy, tender result that’ll impress everyone at the breakfast table.
