- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon of cracked black pepper, plus additional for serving
- ½ teaspoon of salt

- Fresh parsley for garnish
Substitutions And Additions
VEGETABLES: Add chopped bell pepper and chopped onion to the potatoes to give you a variety of tender vegetables for your delicious breakfast.
POTATOES: This recipe uses white baby potatoes, but they could easily be substituted for red baby potatoes, sweet potatoes, or even butternut squash.
MEAT: In place of or in addition to the bacon, breakfast sausage or Canadian bacon could be cooked on the pan with the other ingredients.
CHEESE: Add shredded cheddar cheese at the end of cooking to the potatoes for a tasty melted addition.
HOT SAUCE: Spice up your eggs with a few dashes of hot sauce.
How To Make This Sheet Pan Breakfast Recipe
Let’s walk through preparing all the ingredients on the sheet pan before popping it into the oven.
STEP ONE: Wash and cut the baby potatoes in half or quarters if the potatoes are large.
Place the halved potatoes in a large mixing bowl with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Toss to coat.
PRO TIP:
Make sure that the potatoes are well coated in olive oil. It will ensure they don’t stick to the bottom at all.
STEP TWO: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on an 18×13 half sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20 minutes.
PRO TIP:
The potatoes must have enough space for them to be spread out in a single layer to cook properly.
If you don’t have a large enough sheet pan, divide the recipe between two smaller pans.
STEP THREE: Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and move the potatoes to one side of the pan.
Add the bacon slices and bake for an additional ten minutes.
STEP FOUR: Remove the pan from the oven once more. Use tongs to flip the bacon and arrange the potatoes so that there are four wells for the eggs.
Carefully crack eggs into the wells and return the pan to the oven for an additional six to eight minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
PRO TIP:
The eggs will continue to cook on the hot pan after being removed from the oven. If you want runny egg yolks, remove the eggs from the pan onto a plate immediately.
For the best runny yolks, pull them out as soon as the whites have all cooked to opaque. The yolks will remain vibrant yellow even as they set and are no longer runny.
STEP FIVE: Sprinkle with a little bit of additional cracked black pepper and chopped fresh parsley before serving.

For the quickest result, the microwave is handy, though it may slightly soften the textures.
