Sheet Pan Baked Fried Eggs and Veggies

Baked Fried Eggs with potatoes, bell peppers, and breakfast sausage links is a hearty, protein-packed meal that will leave everyone feeling ready to take on the day. The edges come out just as crispy when you make fried eggs in the oven, and everything cooks on the same sheet pan for easy cleanup!

Baked Fried Eggs

We all know about sheet pan recipes for dinner, but did you know you can make them for breakfast too??

After devouring these huevos rancheros, I knew I needed to try another recipe for sheet pan fried eggs — and this one is a winner!

There are so many ways to customize it to your tastes or based on what’s in your fridge. 

It feels like we’re all trying to cut down on food waste, and what better way than tossing a few things onto a pan (with seasonings, of course) and popping it into the oven?

Mornings are hard enough, so any breakfast that fills us all up without making a mess is a winner in my book.

The only thing easier might be an overnight casserole or my crockpot oatmeal! 

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Eggs – The star of the show! Make sure they’re fresh — you can test them by placing them in a bowl of cold water. If they sink, you’re good to go. But if they float, it’s time to toss them.
  
• Sausage – If we’re having oven fried eggs, then breakfast links just make sense! That said, the recipe works just as well with maple sausage, Italian sausage, chicken sausage, chorizo… you name it.
  
  Keep in mind that larger, thicker links will take longer to cook so plan accordingly.
  
• Baby Potatoes – Yellow baby potatoes are super buttery, but you can use any color that’s available.
  
  Red potatoes, fingerlings, or Yukon Gold can also be used, but you’ll need to cut them into smaller pieces.
  
• Red Onion – Sweeter than yellow onions and so yummy when caramelized in the oven.
  
• Bell Pepper – Use red and green peppers for a balance of sweet and earthy flavors.
  
• Olive Oil – Helps everything crisp up in the oven and prevents the veggies from sticking to the pan.
  
  Any oil with a high smoke point will do the job — try vegetable, canola, or avocado oil.
  
• Seasonings – Salt and pepper are a must, and I like to toss a healthy amount of garlic powder in there too. Creole seasoning rounds it all out, but seasoned salt is a great substitute.
  
  Or, swap in an entirely different spice blend! Dried herbs like parsley, oregano, and rosemary would be yummy.

Tips and Tricks to Make Perfect Fried Eggs in Oven

• Chop all the veggies to a similar size.

Not only will this help everything cook evenly, but smaller pieces will do a much better job of containing your oven fried eggs!

Since baby potatoes are already quite small, you should only need to slice those in half. The bell peppers and red onion can be cut into large chunks.

• Spread everything into an even layer.

I like to toss the veggies and oil with my hands to ensure everything is evenly coated, and it helps to blend it all together too.

Baby potatoes will caramelize best if they start cut side down, so take a minute to flip those into position. You can flip them before broiling to brown them evenly.

Then, nestle the sausage in between the veggies so each link is in direct contact with the sheet pan.

• Crack the eggs gently onto the pan.

First, create wells for each of them by pushing some of the veggies out of the way. 

There should be enough space to place your fist knuckle down on the pan (don’t do that though, or you’ll burn your fingers!) while keeping everything in a single layer.

Carefully crack the eggs one at a time — you want to keep the yolk intact so your baked fried eggs come out just right. This will also keep them from spreading too much!

Prep Ahead

• Slice potatoes in half
• Chop bell peppers and onion

Kitchen Tools You Will Need

• Baking Sheet – Used for anything from cookies to roasting, a good baking pan will last for years.
• Quality Knives and a big solid Cutting Board make prepping a breeze and are well worth the investment.

Serving Suggestions 

With sausage, vegetables, and perfectly baked fried eggs, you won’t need much more to make this a complete meal! I love having the option to skip extra sides.

Serve with toast or warm biscuits and some fresh fruit to round out your plate. Most mornings I’ll blend up a few smoothies.

Or, add a fresh stack of pancakes for everyone to share — you can even make those in the oven at the same time!

Storing and Reheating Sheet Pan Fried Eggs

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Best to place the eggs in their own container.

Baked fried eggs don’t freeze well, but the veggies and sausage can be frozen for up to 2 months if needed. 

Warm everything in the oven for 10 minutes at 350°F for the best texture, but microwaving in 30-second intervals will work in a pinch.

Thaw frozen sausage and veggies in the fridge overnight, then warm in the oven before adding fresh eggs.
