This Sheet Pan Breakfast Bake has everything you need for a delicious breakfast all on a single sheet pan! It’s packed with hash browns, ham, eggs, and two different kinds of cheese for extra flavor!
When you see the description of this sheet pan breakfast bake recipe, you might think to yourself, “Wait, what makes this different from a breakfast casserole?”
I get it! It does sound like a breakfast casserole. And it kind of is a breakfast casserole, but you make it on a sheet pan. Believe me, though, that sheet pan makes all the difference. The sheet pan means all the ingredients are distributed in a thinner layer, so everything cooks faster and you get more crispy-crunchy texture here. Basically, if you like the browned bottom or crispy tops and edges of a breakfast casserole best, you’re going to love this sheet pan breakfast bake!
Easy Sheet Pan Breakfast Bake Recipe
The other thing you’ll love about this recipe is that it’s so easy to customize. I added ham here, but I’ve also made it with bacon and sausage, which is equally delicious, or if you’re vegetarian, you could use sautéed mushrooms, green bell peppers, and onions. You can even switch things up with the cheese—a smoked gouda or cheddar would be amazing!
I love serving this sheet pan breakfast bake for a brunch get-together, but it’s easy enough to whip up for a weekend breakfast for your family, too. It’s also a great option when you’re feeling like breakfast-for-dinner!

How to Make Sheet Pan Breakfast Bake
1. Prepare
Preheat your oven to 400ºF and lightly oil a sheet pan or coat it with nonstick spray.
2. Assemble
Toss the potatoes, ham, and seasonings in a large bowl, then pour this into the prepared sheet pan. Top the potato mixture with the cheeses.
3. Bake
Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
4. Add the Eggs
Use the back of a large spoon to make 6 wells in the potato mixture. Crack an egg into each well (here’s the best way to crack an egg!), then return the sheet pan to the oven. Bake until the egg whites are set and the yolks are beginning to thicken, but not hard—about 10 to 12 minutes.
5. Garnish and Serve
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and scatter the green onions on top, then season with additional pepper. Serve immediately.
How to Store and Reheat Leftover Sheet Pan Breakfast Bake
Transfer any leftovers to an airtight storage container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. I recommend reheating in a 350ºF oven until warmed through, or in the microwave.
