This is nothing like a good breakfast.

The only problem is that sometimes breakfast requires multiple baking dishes, skillets, and kitchen utensils. It can all be a bit much and have you scrapping the whole idea and opting to grab something at the nearest fast-food restaurant. Believe me, I get it.

If you have been following me for any length of time, then you already know how I feel about spending too much time in the kitchen. It’s a no for me. I try to offer simple solutions to get you in and out of the kitchen in the least amount of time possible.

Today will not be any different. I'll be offering you a simple breakfast solution that requires just a few ingredients plus a sheet pan. That’s right. Feel free to read that part again. One large sheet pan is all that you need to make a full breakfast.

Let's get started!

Why You'll Love This Recipe 

There are so many recipes that I believe you will love this breakfast recipe and want to make it again and again. But just in case you needed more reasons then I have a few to share. 

• The best thing about sheet pan meals is that they are ready in minutes and have minimal clean up. 
• This recipe easily serves 4 people, but you can double the recipe on a second sheet pan and serve 8 people. 
• It makes the perfect weekday breakfast because it requires minimal effort. It's also great to make during the weekend and especially for easy Sunday mornings. 

What Kind of Sheet Pan to Use? 

Almost any large sheet pan will work but try using a rimmed baking sheet or sheet pan. It will ensure that the eggs will not spread outside the pan while baking. A single pan will make enough to serve 3 to 4 people, but if you want to double it, then use a second sheet pan. 

Ingredients You'll Need 

1. Eggs - You will need three to four large eggs for this recipe. The fresh eggs will be cracked directly on the sheet pan and broiled in the oven until the whites have cooked and the yolk is still runny. 
2. Potatoes - I prefer to use frozen seasoned potato wedges for a more hearty breakfast. You may use frozen hash browns or home fries instead. 
3. Olive Oil - Needed to toss the sausage and potatoes in to help them broil and become slightly crispy while baking. Use avocado oil or any neutral oil instead if you prefer. 
4. Sausages - Any brand of refrigerated sausage that can easily be located at your local grocery store can be used. Chicken sausage, sausage links, breakfast sausage, and smoked sausage all make great options. 
5. Tomatoes - Before serving the sheet pan breakfast add some grape tomatoes or freshly sliced tomato. 
6. Avocado - Added before serving for an additional ingredient to make this a full breakfast with a healthy dose of fat and fiber. 

See the recipe card below for exact ingredient quantities and instructions.

Recipe Variations 

• Instead of using frozen seasoned potato wedges, try using hash browns, sweet potato fries, home fries, or sliced white potatoes. 
• Toss some sliced green bell pepper, red bell peppers, and sliced yellow onion or white onion along with the sausage and potatoes in olive oil.  
• Substitute the sausage for bacon slices or Canadian bacon. 
• Pair with a side of toast, waffles, or pancakes. 

How To Make a Sheet Pan Breakfast

This breakfast recipe begins by preheating the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. This one step alone will not only prevent your ingredients from sticking to the pan, but it will also make clean-up much easier. 

Next add the sausage, seasoned potato wedges, and olive oil.

Give these three ingredients a gentle toss until everything is coated evenly with the oil. Spread out into a single layer on the sheet pan and place into the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes.

Check the package instructions for the sausage because some may already be fully cooked and just need time to heat thoroughly and slightly brown. 

Once this step is finished carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven and crack the eggs on top. Make sure the eggs are spaced out enough on the sheet pan and do not completely cover any of the other ingredients. If you need to move anything around to make this happen, then feel free to do so at this time. 

Return the sheet pan to the oven to continue cooking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the egg whites are fully cooked. You will still have runny egg yolks.

Carefully remove the sheet pan breakfast from the oven. Divide the eggs, sausage, and potatoes onto serving plates. Before serving add the tomato and avocado. This recipe is one that you want to keep in your kitchen recipe box. Feel free to double or triple the recipe if you have a bigger family or company. Enjoy!

Best Recipe Tips & Tricks 

• Before serving top with green onions, chives, or chopped fresh herbs for additional flavor. 
• Do not overcook the eggs. Cook just enough until the whites of the eggs have set and the egg yolks are firm but still slightly runny. 
• It is best to make this recipe just before you plan to serve it. Serve it immediately after removing it from the oven while it is still warm. 

Storage 

For this particular recipe, I do not recommend storing it for later or freezing. It is best enjoyed shortly after it is cooked for the best results.
