Ahhh Brunch, what a beautiful thing! This healthy breakfast recipe satisfies on all fronts – It is packed with nourishing ingredients like colorful, fiber-rich vegetables, loaded with flavor from perfectly cooked eggs and crispy seasoned potatoes, AND it comes together easily (while still looking kind of fancy)– with most of the heavy lifting done by the oven as it cooks away, completely hands off!

How to Make Sheet Pan Breakfast Bake

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (you may need 2 sheets but your veggies will really shrink up as you cook so it’s ok if it’s a bit crowded).
3. Toss your potatoes, peppers, red onion and asparagus in 1 tsp of avocado oil and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper.
4. Place your bacon pieces down on the parchment lined sheet(s) and then add your potato and veggie mixture. Lay them out in a single layer.
5. Place in the oven to cook for about 45 minutes, stirring halfway through.
6. When the potatoes are getting to be nice and golden brown, with 5 minutes left to cook, create 6 little divets in the pan. Crack an egg in each one and place back in the oven to cook for 5 minutes. If you like your yolks a little firmer, leave them in for another minute or two.
7. Dish up and sprinkle with your green onion.

How to Meal Prep Sheet Pan Breakfast Bake

I am all about some simple, efficient meal prep to make your life so much easier! Not only does meal planning and meal prep save you a ton of time and stress throughout the week, but it also majorly reduces food waste by having a plan and using up what you’ve got (which also means, money saved on the grocery bill!)

A few meal prep tips for this sheet pan breakfast bake: 

1. Prep all of your vegetables and the potatoes ahead of time. Pop them in the fridge and voila! Ready to go when you are when that weekend brunch rolls around! 

Bonus meal prep tip: Prep extras of the veggies to use in other quick meals throughout the week like stir-fries, nourish bowls, or tacos.

1. Purposely make extras for leftovers. This sheet pan breakfast bake keeps really well for leftovers and let me tell you, opening your fridge up to this on a busy weekday morning is a guaranteed mood booster!

How to Store Leftover Sheet Pan Breakfast Bake/How Long will it Stay Fresh?

Fridge: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. 

Freezer: Freeze in an airtight container or reusable storage bag for up to 3 months. 

Note: The potatoes, vegetables, and even bacon all freeze well. Eggs, on the other hand, not so much. I recommend making only the eggs you will eat the day of and then cooking up more fresh when using leftovers from the freezer! 

How to Reheat Leftover Sheet Pan Breakfast Hash

Oven/Toaster Oven: Preheat to 400F and bake until heated through, 10-15 minutes

Stovetop: Reheat in a large pan over medium-high heat. You likely don’t need to add any extra oil as there is already some from the initial cooking, but feel free to add more if desired! Cook, stirring occasionally until heated through, 5-7 minutes.

Microwave: Cover and heat at medium high heat in 1 minute intervals, 1-3 minutes totally ( I find all microwaves are a bit different)
