Oven Baked Eggs with Veggies
Raise your hand if you love a hands-free, healthy breakfast in 20 minutes with a 5-minute prep!
Oven-baked eggs are one of our favorite, cool-weather breakfasts.
They’re such a great alternative to fried eggs, and you can still cook the yolk to your liking.
I personally like to mop up the yolk with the broccoli. So, I’m a sunny side up gal!
But, I’ve had them over-hard a few times (accidentally overbaked…oops!), and they were still super delish!
This is one of our favorite weekend breakfasts and Jeff volunteers to make it almost every weekend. We’ve had this breakfast 20 times this season alone!
What I LOVE about oven baked eggs
- Less oil! Yes, you will use so much less oil by baking eggs instead of frying them.
- This baked eggs recipe is…hardly a recipe. You toss oiled veggies on a sheet pan, bake, add the eggs, back some more, and devour!
- You get to eat ALL the veggies … for breakfast!!!
- When you get a bite of egg yolk with a piece of broccoli, or brussels sprout, or onion…or ALL three veggies? Omgeeeee, it’s pure heaven!!!
- So healthy!! They’re naturally gluten-free, keto, paleo, whole 30, and ovo-vegetarian approved!
How to make Oven Baked Eggs and Veggies
Step 1. Chop veggies and lightly coat them with olive oil (even better if you massage the oil into the veggies with your hands).
Step 2. Bake the veggies on a baking sheet in preheated 400° oven for 10 minutes.
Step 3. Remove baking sheet and use a cooking utensil to clear small areas between the veggies where you will add the eggs. You’ll want the eggs to be in full contact with the baking sheet. Add a small amount of oil or cooking spray to the cleared areas.
Step 4. Crack the eggs into the cleared areas, sprinkle with salt and pepper, return to the oven.
Step 5. Return baking sheet to the oven; bake 4-5 minutes (for sunny side up yolks) and 6-8 minutes (for harder yolks)
Egg-baking Tips
Sheet pan baked eggs will yield runny yolks or hard yolks, and everything in between. It all hinges upon how you prefer them and, most importantly, how long you bake them.
We rarely get the exact same egg yolk texture…and I’m totally fine with that because I find this dish to be gobble-down-crazy-scrumptious no matter how the eggs are cooked.
Allow your eggs to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before adding them to the sheet pan. This helps them cook faster and improves their texture in the oven.

Oven Baked Eggs with Veggies
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brussels Sprouts halved
- 1 cup Broccoli cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 Red Onion sliced thick
- 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 6 Eggs
- 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 Lemon for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°
Bake the veggies first
- Spread BRUSSELS SPROUTS, BROCCOLI, and ONION on baking sheet; drizzle OLIVE OIL; massage into veggies; bake for 10 minutes.
Bake the eggs
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven; clear enough spaces for the eggs and add a small amount of oil to the spaces
- Crack the eggs one by one, dropping into each cleared space; sprinkle SALT and PEPPER over eggs and veggies.
- Return baking sheet to oven, bake 4-5 minutes (for sunny side up) and 6-8 minutes (for harder yolks)
- Remove baking sheet from oven; squeeze LEMON over the surface; serve warm.
NOTE: Oven temperatures vary. Also, eggs will continue to cook once removed from oven, so be sure to immediately remove them from baking sheet to prevent overcooked yolks.

I think I’m in love! Brussels sprouts for breakfast? Why didn’t I ever think of that??!! I’m a Brussels sprouts lover way back from when loving Brussels sprouts wasn’t cool. (I was also country when country wasn’t cool. LOL) With those potatoes is really genius!
Aww thanks Carol! I think I’m blushing…and so thankful that Brussels sprouts are cool now. I have a feeling you are going to love this breakfast…esp with those potatoes 🙂
Wow! This has all of my favorite veges for breakfast!! I haven’t baked eggs yet! It really is a great idea! The fat from gives me stomach issues if I eat them in the morning!
Thanks Beth! Yep, I’m crazed over brussels and broccoli anytime, but esp for breakfast! 🙂
Love this simple meal which would be ideal for my vegetarian daughter:-)
Thanks Camilla! Really doesn’t get simpler than this! 🙂
One pan meals are the coolest! I am obsessed with them these days!
Meee tooo Linda! Cheers to the genius who invented them…and who knows when that was?! Wish I had done them back in my college house days and fed ALL the roommates at once 🙂
You’re a girl after my own heart, Traci ~ I eat eggs for dinner at least twice a week and this going to be dinner tonight, it’s gorgeous!
Thanks Sue! Haha…I actually need to eat eggs for dinner more often! This is my go-to breakfast but I’m all about it for dinner too 🙂
I am totally with you on veggies for breakfast! And this is so fast and yummy! LOVE!!
Thanks Christina! We’re veggie twinning! 🙂
wait what? you can make baked egg on a sheet pan? that’s so cool! looks great, loving sprouts at the moment too!
Thanks Georgie! Yep, you sure can bake eggs on a sheet pan. It’s the greatest thing to happen to our weekend breakfasts! 🙂
I absolutely adore brussels and broccoli and baked eggs sound scrumptious with those two additions!
Thanks Claudia! Hope you can try it sometime! 🙂
I adore roasted Brussels sprouts and this looks like an amazing way to eat them with eggs. Perfect yolk right there too.
Thanks Dannii! Right there with you one the B sprout love…and yep, it really was the perfect yolk 😉
This looks so scrummy, though I’m not sure about sprouts for breakfast! I’ve cooked eggs in tomato sauce in the oven before – they come out like poached eggs, but take a lot longer to cook, so I’ll have to try your technique!
Thanks Lizzie! I know, the sprouts aren’t your usual breakfast item, but they are in our house 🙂 Hope you try the technique and love it like we do!
This looks like the perfect dish for a weekend brunch!
Thanks Jessica! It’s perfect for that 🙂
