Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine diced potatoes, bell peppers, and onions. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss to ensure even coating.
- Spread the vegetable mixture evenly across the sheet pan, creating a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until potatoes start to become golden and slightly crisp.
- Remove the sheet pan and add raw breakfast sausage, breaking it into small chunks and distributing it among the vegetables. Return to the oven and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes.
- Once sausage is nearly cooked through and vegetables are tender, carefully create small wells or spaces in the sheet pan mixture for the eggs.
- Crack eggs directly onto the sheet pan, spacing them evenly. Sprinkle additional salt and pepper over the eggs.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny, or cook to your preferred egg doneness.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot directly from the sheet pan, ensuring each serving gets sausage, vegetables, and an egg.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time during busy weeknights, chop your vegetables and pre-measure your ingredients the night before. Simply store them in the fridge until you're ready to cook!
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables! Spinach, zucchini, or even cherry tomatoes can add a unique twist to this dish.
- Sausage Alternatives: If you prefer a lighter option, try using turkey sausage or a vegetarian sausage substitute for a delicious, healthier take.
- Egg Perfection: For perfectly cooked eggs, keep an eye on them in the oven. If you like your yolks runny, aim for 5-6 minutes; for firmer yolks, cook a bit longer.
- Serve with Style: Present your sheet pan directly at the table for a rustic feel, and let everyone help themselves. Pair with fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal!
