Easy Sheet Pan Breakfast
This easy Sheet Pan Breakfast is a full breakfast of crispy hashbrowns, eggs, bacon, and cheese baked together on one pan. It's hearty, simple, and perfect for cozy weekends, holiday mornings, or those days when you want a breakfast that feels special without making a mess in the kitchen.
I love a breakfast recipe that feeds hungry people without needing every skillet in the house. This one begins with seasoned hashbrowns baked until golden at the edges, then eggs and bacon are added to the pan and baked until everything is ready to serve.
It's a simple one-pan breakfast that works for family mornings, brunch, Father's Day breakfast, or even breakfast-for-dinner.

What I Love About This Sheet Pan Breakfast
There's so much to love about a sheet pan breakfast. It's easy to prepare, simple to customize, and cleanup is minimal.
The hashbrowns bake first so they have time to crisp, then the eggs and bacon finish on the same pan. It's a little like a sheet pan breakfast casserole, but with defined servings and perfectly baked eggs.
And best of all, it's easy to scale. Add more eggs if you're feeding a crowd, or make a smaller version for a quiet weekend morning.
Ingredients You'll Need
Specific measurements are in the recipe card below, but here's what you'll need:
- Hashbrowns: Refrigerated hashbrowns are easy and convenient, but frozen hashbrowns or rehydrated boxed hashbrowns can also work. If using frozen hashbrowns, thaw and pat them dry for best results.
- Eggs: Large eggs bake right into the hashbrowns for an easy one-pan breakfast.
- Bacon: Use as many strips as you need for the number of servings. Thin-cut bacon cooks most evenly here.
- Butter and olive oil: These help the hashbrowns crisp and add flavor.
- Cheese: Shredded cheddar or your favorite melting cheese works beautifully.
- Seasoning: Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper add simple flavor to the hashbrowns.
- Chives: Optional, but delicious for garnish and fresh flavor.
How to Make a Sheet Pan Breakfast
Begin by spreading the hashbrowns onto a greased or parchment-lined sheet pan. Toss them with melted butter, olive oil, seasonings, and shredded cheese, then bake until the edges begin to turn golden.

Remove the pan from the oven and use the back of a spoon to create small wells for the eggs. Crack the eggs into the wells, add the bacon strips to the pan, and return it to the oven.

Bake until the egg whites are set, the yolks are cooked to your liking, and the bacon is cooked through. Sprinkle with fresh chives if desired and serve warm.

Tips for Best Results
- For crispier hashbrowns, spread them in an even layer and avoid crowding the pan.
- If using frozen hashbrowns, thaw them first and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Thin-cut bacon works best because it cooks more quickly and evenly on the sheet pan.
- Watch the eggs closely near the end of baking, as they can go from soft-set to firm quickly.
Easy Variations
- Add diced bell peppers or onions to the hashbrowns before baking.
- Swap bacon for cooked sausage links or patties.
- Use pepper jack cheese for a little heat.
- Add baby spinach during the final few minutes of baking.
- Serve with salsa, hot sauce, or avocado for extra flavor.
Serving Ideas
This sheet pan breakfast is hearty enough to serve on its own, but it's also delicious with fresh fruit, toast, biscuits, or a simple green salad for brunch.
For a larger breakfast spread, pair it with muffins, scones, pancakes, or a fresh fruit salad.

Easy Sheet Pan Breakfast Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (20-oz) refrigerated hashbrown potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 slices bacon
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉ and lightly oil or coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Spread hashbrowns evenly in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the melted butter and olive oil over the potatoes. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and salt and pepper over the top. And then sprinkle on the shredded cheese. Using tongs, turn over the hashbrowns until they are coated with the butter/oil and seasoning.
- Bake the hashbrowns in the oven until the edges begin to brown; about 20 minutes.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and create 6 wells. Add uncooked bacon slices. Into the wells, carefully crack each egg, keeping the yolk intact. Salt and pepper as needed; return to the oven.
- Bake until the egg whites have set and the bacon is cooked through; 10 to 12 minutes, or until your eggs have reached the doneness you like.
- Garnish with fresh chives, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes
- Hashbrowns: For crispier hashbrowns, spread them in an even layer and avoid overcrowding the pan. If using frozen hashbrowns, thaw and pat dry before baking to remove excess moisture.
- Bacon: Thin-cut bacon works best because it cooks more evenly with the eggs.
- Eggs: Bake the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference. Add extra eggs or bacon as needed, depending on how many people you're serving.
