Pantry Staples

2. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared sheet pan.

Doneness or Texture Check

Sheet pan eggs are ready when:

• The center is set and no longer jiggly

• Edges are lightly puffed

• A knife inserted in the center comes out clean

Avoid overbaking, as eggs can become rubbery.

Resting or Final Touches

Let the eggs rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps them set fully and makes clean cuts easier.
