A quick and easy 5-ingredient sheet pan breakfast that combines eggs, sausage, potatoes, and bell peppers for a warm, comforting start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 12 oz breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 1 large bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes and diced bell peppers with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the sausage pieces evenly on one side of a rimmed 18×13-inch sheet pan. Arrange the oiled potatoes and peppers in a single layer on the other side, ensuring they have space to roast properly.
  4. Roast for 20 minutes. Then, stir the veggies gently and flip the sausage pieces to brown evenly.
  5. Create small wells among the potatoes and sausage using the back of a spoon. Carefully crack the eggs into these wells, spacing them out to prevent running together.
  6. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, depending on desired egg doneness (about 10 minutes for runny yolks, a couple more minutes for fully set yolks).
  7. Once out of the oven, sprinkle chopped parsley or chives over the top for freshness.
  8. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For faster potato cooking, parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting. Crack eggs into a small bowl first to avoid broken yolks or shells. Keep eggs under close watch during last baking stage to avoid overcooking. Line sheet pan with parchment paper or silicone mat for easier cleanup. Variations include swapping sausage for plant-based alternatives or mushrooms for vegetarian option, adding cheese near end of baking, or adding greens like spinach after eggs go in.
