Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 18 large eggs
- 3/4 cup half and half
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Cheese
- 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese (sharp or medium)
Optional Mix-Ins (2 to 3 cups)
- Vegetables such as sautéed mushrooms, chopped red bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli, asparagus, red onion, green onion, spinach, or fresh tomatoes
- Cooked meats such as 12 to 16 oz bacon, ham, pork sausage, or chorizo
- Additional cheeses like gruyere, Monterey jack, Swiss, mozzarella, fontina, gouda, or parmesan
- Seasonings such as parsley, chives, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the eggs.
- Mix Eggs: Crack all 18 eggs into a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk to break the yolks and mix the eggs together vigorously until smooth.
- Add Dairy and Seasonings: Stir in the 3/4 cup half and half, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper into the egg mixture, mixing well.
- Combine Cheese and Mix-Ins: Stir in 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese along with any optional mix-ins you desire, or alternatively, sprinkle the cheese over the eggs after pouring into the pan.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Spray a rimmed 18 by 13 by 1-inch baking sheet generously with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking sheet. It is helpful to do this on the countertop near the oven to avoid spills.
- Bake: Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the eggs are just barely cooked through in the center.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and cut into pieces to serve.
Notes
- Adjust salt based on the saltiness of your mix-ins such as bacon or ham.
- The nutrition estimate excludes optional mix-ins except 1 cup cheddar cheese.
- For a variety of flavors, use a combination of vegetables, different cheeses, and cooked meats.
- To add more flavor, mix in herbs and spices like parsley, chives, paprika, onion or garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Ensure the pan is well greased to prevent sticking and make serving easier.
