Let’s get into what you need to make them!

Ingredients

• Eggs: Eggs are the hearty base of this recipe and a great source of protein and other essential nutrients like vitamin D and choline. I use whole eggs  but you could always swap out half of the egg for egg whites (6 whole eggs + 12 egg whites).
• Cottage Cheese: Not only does cottage cheese add more protein to the baked eggs but it also gives them a light fluffy texture and a shorter cooking time without adding lots of moisture like recipes that rely on milk or heavy cream.
• Onion: Diced onion is a go-to flavor booster in so many of my recipes, and in this recipe it also adds texture to your eggs. The best part is you don’t have to cook them first!  
• Bell Pepper: Bell peppers adds extra texture, flavor, fiber and nutrients. I like to use red bell pepper and green pepper best, but you can use any of them- they all work perfectly.
• Baby Spinach: Chopped baby spinach adds fiber and other key nutrients like vitamin C, iron and folate. You can also use chopped kale.
• Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar goes perfectly with this veggie and egg combination, plus it adds in a little more protein and kicks up the flavor.
• Salt & Black Pepper: These simple seasonings enhance all of the great flavors in this dish without taking over.   
• For sandwiches: I like to use whole grain toast, English muffins or bagels to turn these sheet pan eggs into easy breakfast sandwiches. I prefer something with high fiber and lots of whole grains like Dave’s Killer Bread 21 Whole Grains and Seeds.

How to make sheet pan eggs for sandwiches

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray the sides with non-stick spray (or lightly coat with oil).
2. Add eggs, milk, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.

3. Pour blended egg mixture into the sheet pan. Sprinkle veggies and cheese over the egg mixture, swirl in gently to distribute evenly and mix with egg.

4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the eggs are set. Check often to avoid over baking as it will dry out the eggs.

5. Slice into 12 even pieces and serve on an English muffin or bagel.
