Freezer-Friendly Make-Ahead Sheet Pan Eggs

When I worked in an office near a Starbucks, I loved to grab their breakfast sandwiches in the morning. These sheet pan eggs in between buttered and toasted whole-wheat English muffins give me the same satisfaction as those Starbucks sandwiches but filled with high-quality eggs, zucchini, and cheese. The best part is that you can make a batch in one sheet pan ahead of time and freeze them for later. Simply defrost individual servings overnight in the fridge, warm in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.

The recipe included here is a version with zucchini, pancetta, and cheddar cheese. If you can’t find any pancetta, you can substitute it with finely chopped sausages (already cooked ones.)
Make sure the squeeze water out from the zucchini as much as possible to avoid soggy eggs. I like to use a potato ricer for this task. (amazon affiliate link)

I developed a vegetarian version of this recipe in partnership with Nellie’s Free Range, and you can find the written recipe here. Sun-dried tomatoes pack a lot of flavors, and you won’t miss the meat.

Make sure the squeeze water out from the zucchini as much as possible to avoid soggy eggs. I like to use a potato ricer for this task.
