How To Make A Sheet Pan Frittata
Full ingredients and instructions are also in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.
STEP 1: Prep Baking Sheet
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray an 18x13-inch sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
STEP 2: Cook Bacon
Chop 1 lb of bacon into small pieces (I used kitchen scissors) and cook it in a frying pan over medium-high heat until the pieces are crispy. Once cooked, add the bacon to a paper towel to remove excess grease. Set aside.
STEP 3: Season Veggies
In a bowl, combine the 1 cup thinly sliced zucchini, 1 cup chopped grape tomatoes, and 2 cups of baby spinach. Season with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss together.
STEP 4: Bake Veggies
Spread the seasoned vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned. IMPORTANT: After the vegetables are done, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
STEP 5: Beat Eggs
In a large bowl, beat together 18 large eggs, ½ cup of half and half cream, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme).
STEP 6: Add Cheese + Bacon
Once eggs are beaten, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the 1 lb cooked chopped bacon.
STEP 7: Pour On To Baking Sheet
Pour the egg mixture onto the baking sheet with the roasted vegetables. Now use a fork to gently move the vegetables and eggs around evenly.
STEP 8: Bake
Carefully place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set in the middle and lightly golden on top (I cooked mine 18 mins). Remove from oven to let cool 5 minutes, then slice and use a spatula to scoop onto plates. Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Make sure the eggs are fully set before pulling the frittata out of the oven. You can test by gently shaking the pan—if the center is firm and doesn’t jiggle, it’s ready.
- Fresh thyme really does make a difference in flavor, but dried thyme will work too. You could also use rosemary or oregano.
- Crispy bacon adds so much great flavor. After cooking the bacon, be sure to drain it on a paper towel to remove excess grease, so your frittata isn’t too oily.
- The veggies can easily be swapped for mushrooms, bell peppers, kale, asparagus etc.
- You can also add toppings like salsa, sour cream, and avocado slices.
How To Store Leftovers
- REFRIGERATE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days (great for meal prep!).
