Brilliantly Peaceful Sheet Pan Eggs - Step 2

Ingredients

12 large eggs, room temperature
2 handfuls baby spinach (about 60g or 2 oz), roughly chopped
6 leaves kale (about 90g or 3 oz), stems removed, leaves roughly chopped
6 English muffins, split in half
2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
½ cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend), divided

Instructions

Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Position racks in the center and lower third of the oven. Lightly grease a large, rimmed baking sheet (18x13 inches) with 1 tablespoon of oil.

Step 2

2. Arrange the halved English muffins cut-side up on one half of the prepared baking sheet. Toast them in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and crisp. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully flip the muffins over.

Step 3

3. While the muffins toast, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper until just combined and slightly frothy. Do not over-whisk.

Step 4

4. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over the empty half of the baking sheet. Layer the chopped kale and spinach in an even, overlapping layer over the oil. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

5. Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the greens. Gently shake the pan to help the eggs settle into the vegetables. Sprinkle ⅓ cup of the shredded cheese evenly over the top.

Step 6

6. Return the baking sheet to the center rack. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center, the edges are slightly puffed, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The top should be golden and the greens wilted.

Step 7

7. To serve, slide a spatula under each egg portion and place it atop a toasted English muffin half. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and additional pepper if desired. Serve immediately.

Chef's Notes

For the fluffiest eggs, whisk them only until the yolks and whites are combined; over-beating can make them tough.

Using room-temperature eggs helps them cook more evenly and quickly on the sheet pan.

If your kale stems are thick, massage the chopped leaves with a drizzle of oil for 2-3 minutes before adding to the pan to ensure tender results.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these sheet pan eggs as-is for a hearty lunch, or pair with a simple arugula salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette. They also make excellent meal prep portions; store and reheat for a quick breakfast or lunch throughout the week. A dollop of salsa, hot sauce, or avocado slices on top is highly recommended.
