Sheet Pan Eggs Recipe

Sheet Pan eggs are the easiest way to cook a dozen eggs or more – perfect eggs for a large crowd or just a family of 4, your eggs can be done in no time.
Once you skip the oil and butter splatter, you will never go back to the skillet again. Plus sheet pan eggs are perfect for breakfast sandwiches and morning meal prep. Serve eggs with bacon and pancakes for a full morning meal!
Styles of Egg Yolk
There is no doubt that egg yolk is a personal preference. I love eggs with a runny yellow that I can dip toast into, but my husband likes them mostly soft in the center with a tiny run. He called these eggs “perfect”, but perfect is really up to you!
- Over Easy are eggs that are cooked on both sides – as these eggs are oven baked, they are only cooked, but not flipped
- Sunny Side up means a runny yolk and a little bit of runny white..it’s BARELY white.
- Hard Fried is when you cook the egg, puncture the yolk and flip it and cook it again
The eggs in my sheet pan have no official style as they are not fried eggs, but are a cross between “over easy” and “soft boiled” – the white is done and the yellow yolk is soft and just slightly runny. If you want a more runny yolk, you will have to pull them out of the oven sooner.
Sheet Pans Matter
Sheet pans matter! As I have learned from trial and error, the larger the sheet pan, the more opportunity the eggs have to slide when transferring. If you are serving your eggs between a crowd of people, you want a more defining edge to cut each egg, which means you want the yolks not to all congregate to one side of the sheet pan. Only use a pan as large as you need.
Additionally, if your pan is off kilter (like some of my sheet pans are), your eggs and yolks all may go to one side of the pan.
The best way to serve is to try to keep them all separated in their own little quadrant. If you do not feel confident that you can manage that on your own, you may be able to create a little foil grid, crunching up foil the way I did for my crispy oven baked bacon.

How to cook Sheet Pan Eggs
Equipment
- Sheet Pan
- Foil
- Cooking Spray
- Salt and Pepper
Ingredients
- Dozen eggs
Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 425 Degrees.
Cover your sheet pain in full foil and spray down with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Crack your 12 eggs carefully, making sure not to get any shells in the sheet pan.
Try to crack your yolks in ways that keep your eggs in their own section to make for an easy spatula cut.
Season top of eggs with salt and pepper to taste
Once the oven has reached 425, put the sheet pan in the oven until desired yolk center.
OVEN TIMES
The oven I work with often runs hot, and not all ovens are predictable to what temperature they say. The first time you make eggs on a sheet pan, you will want to monitor them closely until you know the timing. Here is how my oven worked out
- 8 minutes for a runny yolk
- 10 minutes for a soft boil (as shown)
- 12 minutes for a hard boil
Breakfast Recipes
I love, love breakfast (even for dinner!)
- Hashbrown Casserole with Ham
- Oven Roasted Breakfast Potatoes
- Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole
- Sausage Hashbrown Casserole

You say you will never go back to the oven again. I thought the purpose was to use your oven. You need to review your content before posting as attention to details is important
You’re right. I made a mistake and said oven over the skillet.
But I am a person, not a company and I write these recipes with 2 kids in the background, a cat on my lap and this year, balancing the death of my father from Covid so sometimes my brain doesn’t match my fingers. You could be a little kinder considering you forget to add a period at the end of your own sentence after criticizing my details.

Dear JG,
If you have children, I hope they get the help that they shurly need for all the damage you have done.
..and I totally believe that you didn’t apply the period! My God woman, I suggest that you start checking, then double checking your pissy usless nasty little comments before firing them off!
Loved this!
I think you were very kind in your reply to JG. I learned from you, as I no doubt would have fired off something a bit more aggressive in the same situation. That would have accomplished nothing other than a little satisfaction I would gain from publicly slapping down a person who would actually take up time to correct you and tell you how to run your business over an obvious word mixup.
Can you imagine what her children go through when they screw up and use a wire hanger?
Anyway, I loved the hash browns! Thank you!
I absolutely LOVE this way of cooking a large amount of eggs. It’s very helpful in making Eggs Benedict.
Thank you for taking the time in sharing this.
Wonderful! Glad it was a good egg recipe for your family. I find when cooking for a lot of people, this works way better than doing a few at a time in a skillet. Thank YOU for taking the time to visit!

Just made this for my family of 4 as we love a good eggy breakfast and it was a big hit and easy to do! Thank you for the recipe!!!
Its great to feed a whole lot of people, isn’t it? I am so glad this worked well for you Evan. Sheet pan eggs are wonderful if you do not want to stand over the stove and free up your hands for other things. I appreciate your valuable feedback on this recipe.

Why anyone would cook eggs this way is beyond me. It takes so much electricity to heat the oven and bake the eggs, it just isn’t economical . Instead, cook them on the stovetop or better yet, get yourself an instant pot/electric pressure cooker. They cook in 5 minutes and the shells just slide right off. Pressure cookers are so much quicker for many other foods. Rice cooks up in just a few minutes. There are a lot of great recipes out there for cooking this way.
Not everyone has an instant pot or pressure cooker and these are sheet pan eggs (so large party) and while I have never cooked a fried egg in a pressure cooker, I imagine its not quite the same result as a sheet pan.
