A quick and easy sheet pan breakfast bake combining eggs, cheese, tortillas, and veggies for a comforting and crowd-pleasing brunch dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 flour tortillas (8–10 inch size)
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (mixed colors)
  • ½ cup diced onion (yellow or white)
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your sheet pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Dice the bell peppers and onions finely. If using sausage, crumble and cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth and slightly frothy. Add garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Tear or cut tortillas into bite-sized pieces and scatter evenly across the bottom of the prepared sheet pan.
  5. Distribute the cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, and onions evenly over the torn tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients, pressing down lightly with a spatula to help the mixture settle.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until eggs are set and the top is golden and slightly bubbly. Test doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  8. Let the bake cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top if desired.

Notes

If edges brown too quickly, tent the pan loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Fresh tortillas work best to avoid hardness. Cooking sausage beforehand prevents greasiness. Can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight before baking. Freezes well for up to 2 months.
