Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup cooked sausage
- Salt and 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.
- Prepare the vegetables by washing and dicing the potatoes and bell peppers into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. This ensures even cooking and consistent texture.
- If the sausage is not already cooked, brown the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Spread the diced potatoes across the sheet pan in a single layer. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes to begin softening the potatoes.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the diced bell peppers and cooked sausage. Toss gently to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Create small wells or indentations in the mixture where you will crack the eggs. Carefully crack each egg into these spaces, spacing them evenly across the sheet pan.
- Season the eggs with additional salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle any optional herbs like chopped parsley or chives if desired.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot directly from the sheet pan, ensuring each serving gets an egg and a mix of potatoes, peppers, and sausage.
Tips
- Uniform Chopping: Cut your potatoes and bell peppers into consistent 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
- Potato Pre-Roasting: Roasting potatoes first helps them become crispy and golden before adding other ingredients.
- Egg Placement: Create small wells in the mixture to help eggs stay in place and cook evenly.
- Doneness Flexibility: Adjust baking time based on how you like your eggs – less time for runny yolks, more time for firmer eggs.
- Customize Your Bake: Feel free to swap sausage with bacon, ham, or make it vegetarian by using plant-based proteins.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: Prep ingredients the night before to make morning cooking even faster.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve directly from the sheet pan for a rustic, family-style presentation that saves on dish washing!
