Ingredients for Sheet Pan Breakfast
Simple and easy does it for this one pan breakfast! You don’t need anything fancy! Here are the main ingredients I use for this recipe; you can find the full list with measurements in the recipe card below.
- Potatoes: any variety of potatoes will work great, even sweet potatoes! If you’re using a thicker-skinned potato, I recommend peeling the potatoes first.
- Bell Pepper: use red, yellow, orange or green sweet peppers.
- Breakfast Sausage: I recommend going with a good quality organic pork sausage if you can find it. I get mine at Whole Foods.
- Smoked Bacon: the more, the better!
- Maple Syrup: my secret ingredient for making the best breakfast potatoes! It adds that breakfast flavor!
- Dill, Parsley & Chives: I like to use fresh herbs because they are the most aromatic and flavorful. Dried herbs will work in a pinch.

- Aluminum Sheet Pans: super versatile and great for baking desserts and savory dishes.

Preparing the Oven & Sheet Pan
Start the recipe off by preheating your oven to 450F. Line a large baking sheet with either parchment paper, a silicon mat, or non-stick foil (makes for super easy cleanup!).
Set the pan aside and now you’re ready to start on the recipe!
Preparing Your Ingredients
Preparing all the ingredients for this sheet pan breakfast is a breeze! Here’s what you’ll need to do:
- Start by cutting the potatoes into wedges or cubes. Smaller pieces will cook faster. Place all the ingredients onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Cube the bell peppers, thinly slice the shallots, and chop the bacon slices into small bits. I recommend leaving the sausage whole; we’ll cut it later.
- Chop the fresh herbs and halve the cherry tomatoes, then set them aside for later.
Assembling the Dish
Once you have all the ingredients cut, cubed and prepared, it’s time to dress everything!
- Arrange the chopped veggies and bacon flat on the sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and maple syrup. Add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce.
- Season the sheet pan generously with salt and pepper, then add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried thyme.
- Using your hands or a spatula, toss everything together until all the ingredients are well coated and evenly distributed.
- Place the breakfast sausage along the sides of the pan to bake.
Baking the Sheet Pan Breakfast Potatoes
Before baking, cover the sheet pan tightly with a sheet of foil. Bake at 450F for 23 to 33 minutes. The timing will depend on the size of the potatoes. Bake the sheet pan covered until the potatoes are tender and cooked.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the pan from the oven and remove the foil. Take out the breakfast sausages and chop them into bite sized pieces, then return them back into the pan, along with the tomatoes. Toss everything together.
Return the sheet pan back into the oven and broil on high heat, keeping the pan in the middle of the oven, for 5 to 7 minutes. Toss everything once more, then broil for another 5 minutes.
Adding & Baking the Eggs
Once the breakfast potatoes are nicely browned, it’s time to add the eggs. Using a spatula or spoon, create wells in the potato mixture, just large enough to hold an egg.
Crack each egg into a small ramekin, then drop into the created wells. Return the sheet pan back into the oven and broil on low heat until eggs are done to your liking. I like my yolks on the runny side so I usually do about 4 to 5 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Once the eggs are done, your sheet pan breakfast potatoes are ready to be served! Sprinkle the fresh dill, chives and parsley over the top, and add sliced avocado.
Grab a spatula and scoop out each egg, serving it with a generous side of the potatoes and some avocado. Enjoy the breakfast with more hot sauce and ketchup, if desired.
Overnight Instructions
Want to prepare this breakfast ahead of time? Simply prepare all the ingredients and season the mixture with the oil and spices. You need to make sure the potatoes are well coated, so they don’t brown!
Cover the pan with foil, then place into the refrigerator overnight, or for a few hours. When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven and proceed as usual. The baking time may increase by a few minutes since the ingredients will be colder.
