Ingredients
  

Breakfast Ideas mix-and-match
  • 1 eggs Use large eggs for best structure.
  • 0.5 lb breakfast sausage Breakfast sausage links or crumbles both work.
  • 1 cup chopped bell pepper Use a mix of colors if you want extra vibrancy.
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes Halve for quicker cooking.
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheese Cheddar or Monterey Jack for melting.
  • 1 tsp olive oil Helps browning and keeps edges golden.
  • 1 tsp salt Adjust to taste before serving.
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper Freshly ground recommended.
  • 0.5 tsp paprika Adds warm color and flavor.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep ingredients
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment to prevent sticking.
  2. Chop the bell pepper, halve the cherry tomatoes, and shred the cheese so everything cooks evenly.
Cook the sausage and vegetables
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then cook breakfast sausage until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Spread sausage, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes on the sheet pan in an even layer, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  3. Roast until the vegetables are tender and tomatoes burst, about 15-20 minutes, tossing once halfway for even browning.
Bake the egg mixture
  1. Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth, then pour the eggs over the hot roasted mixture.
  2. Bake at 425°F (220°C) until the eggs are set with golden edges, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Rest the tray for 2-3 minutes, then sprinkle with shredded cheese and let it melt from the residual heat for 1-2 minutes.
Serve
  1. Taste and adjust seasoning with a final pinch of salt and black pepper, then serve warm.

Notes

Prep ingredients ahead for faster cooking—chop peppers and halve tomatoes the night before. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or microwave until hot. Freezing is not recommended because eggs can turn watery after thawing. For a dietary swap, use plant-based sausage and dairy-free shredded cheese to make it dairy-optional while keeping the satisfying texture.
