Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 18 large eggs
- 3/4 cup half and half
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese (sharp or medium)
Optional Mix-Ins
- 2 to 3 cups assorted mix-ins such as cooked bacon, ham, sautéed vegetables (mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli, asparagus, red onion, green onion, spinach, tomatoes), or additional cheeses (Swiss, Monterey Jack, Gruyere, mozzarella, fontina, gouda, parmesan)
- Optional seasonings like parsley, chives, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the eggs evenly.
- Mix Eggs: Crack all 18 eggs into a large mixing bowl. Break the yolks with a whisk and whisk everything together until combined.
- Add Dairy and Seasoning: Stir in the half and half, salt, and black pepper into the eggs. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.
- Add Cheese and Mix-Ins: Mix in grated cheddar cheese and any optional mix-ins you like. Alternatively, you may sprinkle the cheese on top after pouring the eggs into the pan.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Spray a rimmed 18 by 13 by 1-inch baking sheet generously with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking sheet. It’s best to do this step near the oven to avoid spills while transferring.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the eggs are just barely cooked through in the center, about 25 minutes.
Notes
- Adjust salt according to taste, especially if using salty mix-ins like bacon or ham to avoid over-salting.
- The nutrition estimate includes only 1 cup of cheddar cheese and does not account for mix-ins as they can significantly vary.
- Optional mix-ins include sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, peppers, zucchini, broccoli, asparagus, and spinach.
- Cooked meats such as bacon, ham, pork sausage, or chorizo are great additions; use about 12 to 16 ounces.
- Various cheeses such as Gruyere, Monterey Jack, Swiss, mozzarella, fontina, gouda, or parmesan can complement or replace cheddar.
- Enhance flavor with herbs and spices such as parsley, chives, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper.
