Sheet Pan eggs are the easiest way to cook a dozen eggs or more – perfect eggs for a large crowd or just a family of 4, your eggs can be done in no time.

Once you skip the oil and butter splatter, you will never go back to the skillet again. Plus sheet pan eggs are perfect for breakfast sandwiches and morning meal prep. Serve eggs with bacon and pancakes for a full morning meal!

Styles of Egg Yolk

There is no doubt that egg yolk is a personal preference. I love eggs with a runny yellow that I can dip toast into, but my husband likes them mostly soft in the center with a tiny run. He called these eggs “perfect”, but perfect is really up to you!

  • Over Easy are eggs that are cooked on both sides – as these eggs are oven baked, they are only cooked, but not flipped
  • Sunny Side up means a runny yolk and a little bit of runny white..it’s BARELY white.
  • Hard Fried is when you cook the egg, puncture the yolk and flip it and cook it again

The eggs in my sheet pan have no official style as they are not fried eggs, but are a cross between “over easy” and “soft boiled” – the white is done and the yellow yolk is soft and just slightly runny. If you want a more runny yolk, you will have to pull them out of the oven sooner.

Sheet Pans Matter

Sheet pans matter! As I have learned from trial and error, the larger the sheet pan, the more opportunity the eggs have to slide when transferring. If you are serving your eggs between a crowd of people, you want a more defining edge to cut each egg, which means you want the yolks not to all congregate to one side of the sheet pan. Only use a pan as large as you need.

Additionally, if your pan is off kilter (like some of my sheet pans are), your eggs and yolks all may go to one side of the pan.

The best way to serve is to try to keep them all separated in their own little quadrant. If you do not feel confident that you can manage that on your own, you may be able to create a little foil grid, crunching up foil the way I did for my crispy oven baked bacon.

OVEN TIMES

The oven I work with often runs hot, and not all ovens are predictable to what temperature they say. The first time you make eggs on a sheet pan, you will want to monitor them closely until you know the timing. Here is how my oven worked out

  • 8 minutes for a runny yolk
  • 10 minutes for a soft boil (as shown)
  • 12 minutes for a hard boil

FAQs

How long to bake eggs at 350 degrees? ›

Bake eggs at 350ºF for 10-15 minutes or until the yolk reaches your desired doneness. If your eggs don't come right out, run a knife around the edges to help them loosen.

Can you cook eggs on parchment paper in the oven? ›

Grease the sheet pan, then place parchment paper and grease it one more time. This ensures that no eggs get stuck to the pan. Now you're ready to pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan. And top it with your favorite vegetables and/or meats and cheese and bake it in the oven.

What temperature do you bake eggs at? ›

I suggest baking eggs at either 350ºF or 375ºF and checking their doneness after about 10 minutes. If the whites are still not set, give them a few more minutes and just watch them closely.

When should you not use parchment paper for baking? ›

Parchment paper is not designed for high-heat cooking. Avoid using it in your oven or on the grill if temperature will exceed 400 degrees, says Michelle Weaver, chef at Charleston Grill in South Carolina, as there's a chance it could catch fire.

Is it better to bake with foil or parchment paper? ›

In summary, foil is good for preventing sticking, shaping and molding, and keeping food warm, while parchment paper is good for non-stick, heat-resistance and delicate bakes.

Can you bake eggs on aluminum foil? ›

It is important to note that cooking eggs in aluminum foil is not dangerous as long as you are aware of potential risks and take the necessary precautions. If you are concerned about aluminum leaching into your food, you may want to consider using other types of cookware such as stainless steel or cast iron.

What is the best pan to cook eggs in? ›

The Zwilling Madura Plus 8-Inch Pan aced all of our tests thanks to the slick surface, balanced handle, and even heat distribution. It's by far the best egg pan for home cooks. In our search, we looked for an option that was nonstick, simple to use, and easy to clean, and the Zwilling checked all of those boxes.

Why do my eggs keep sticking to the pan? ›

You Used the Wrong Kind of Pan

So it's not a surprise that eggs will stick to the bottom of your pan. While the egg cooks, its proteins are forming chemical bonds with the metal of the pan. A nonstick coating interferes with this bonding, and so does adding fat like oil or butter to the pan before the eggs.

Why not cook eggs in cast iron skillet? ›

Eggs fall into the category of sticky foods that are not ideal for cast iron skillets that haven't built up their seasoning yet. While cast iron can become non-stick with sufficient use over time, a newer skillet will almost certainly cause your eggs to stick to its porous surface.

How to cook eggs so they don't stick? ›

To prevent sticking, you can try using a non-stick pan and a bit of cooking oil or butter. Preheat the pan on low to medium heat, add a small amount of oil or butter, and crack the egg into the pan. Cover the pan with a lid to help cook the top of the egg without flipping it.

Why cant I get my scrambled eggs from sticking on my cast iron skillet even with a large pat of butter? ›

Your cast iron skillet needs to be well-seasoned in order to prevent sticking with scrambled eggs. You can tell if your pan is well-seasoned if other food you've been cooking has been lifting away nicely, and also by looking at it.

How long does it take to bake eggs in the oven? ›

Crack 2 eggs into the ramekin and bake for 10 to 15 minutes (we do about 12), or until the egg whites are just set and the yolk is still runny. If using a muffin tin, bake 9 to 12 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, the baked eggs should look a little underdone as you take them out.

Boiled Egg chart Preheat to 300F/150C 6-7 minutes - super runny poached 8-9 minutes - jammy center 10-11 minutes - fully set yolk but not dry 13 minutes - more of a traditional hard boil I topped this rice with chili crisp, furikake and crispy shallot which is my favorite breakfast #fypシ #recipesoftiktok.

Bake in preheated 350°F (180°C) oven until whites are set and yolks are cooked as desired, 18 to 20 minutes. Run knife around inside of each muffin cup, then remove.

What is the rule of eggs in baking? ›

Egg white has the capability to gel and is frequently used as a binding agent in many different prepared foods. Using more whites in a cake mixture will help create a fluffy, light baked product with good volume and texture; while using more yolks will create a denser baked good with a deeper, richer flavour.
