Ingredients you will need for this sheet pan omelette

This recipe is easy to follow and yields a delicious and versatile breakfast. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 500g breakfast sausage, casing removed
  • ½ tsp dried thyme leaves
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 12 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

How to make this sheet pan omelette recipe

Follow these simple steps to prepare your tasty sheet pan omelette:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper.
  3. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the breakfast sausage, thyme, onion powder, salt, and green peppers. Break up the sausage with a wooden spoon and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and fully cooked. Drain to get rid of excess liquid.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
  5. Scatter all the sausage and pepper mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Carefully pour the egg mixture onto the baking sheet. Scatter the grated cheese on top of the egg.
  6. Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the egg is set in the middle – it should be firm, not wiggly in the center.
  7. Remove and cool slightly.
  8. Cut into 12 square pieces and enjoy or store in the fridge for up to a week.

Tips and tricks to make the best sheet pan omelette

Creating the perfect sheet pan omelette involves a few key tips:

  • Use parchment paper: This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Drain excess liquid from the sausage: This prevents the omelette from becoming soggy.
  • Customize with your favorite ingredients: Add in any veggies, meats, or cheeses you like to make it your own.
  • Check doneness: Ensure the center is firm and not wiggly before removing it from the oven.
  • Meal prep: Cut into squares and store in the fridge for a quick and easy breakfast all week long.
