A quick and easy sheet pan breakfast bake featuring crispy potatoes, savory sausage, melty cheese, and eggs, perfect for busy mornings with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 12 ounces breakfast sausage, sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
  • ½ medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 large eggs, cracked directly onto the pan
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dice potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Toss them in a mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Slice sausage into ½-inch pieces, dice bell peppers, and chop onions. Add these to the bowl with the potatoes, drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and toss gently to combine.
  4. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan, avoiding overcrowding.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring gently halfway through (around 10 minutes) to turn the potatoes and sausage for even browning.
  6. Remove the pan and create six small wells in the mixture. Crack one egg into each well.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the entire pan, including the eggs.
  8. Bake for another 8-10 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny (or longer for firmer yolks).
  9. Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and season eggs with extra salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

For crispier potatoes, avoid overcrowding the pan and toss potatoes well in oil and seasoning. Create wells for eggs to keep them neat and cook gently. Stir halfway through roasting for even browning. Sausage can be swapped with bacon, ham, or plant-based alternatives. Potatoes can be replaced with sweet potatoes or cauliflower for variations.
