Instructions
Prepare
Preheat oven to 350°F and generously spray a rimmed half baking sheet (13x18") with cooking spray.
Mix eggs
To a mixing bowl, add 18 large eggs, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 - 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
For an even fluffier texture, use a hand mixer, or one of those hand held mixers for drinks. This incorporates air, which yields a softer texture.
Stir in 3/4 cup crumbled cooked breakfast sausage, 3/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon, and 3/4 cup diced ham. I like to use a rubber spatula for this.
Assemble and bake
Gently pour mixture into prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
I like to do this as close as I can to my oven, so I don't spill any when bringing the baking sheet to the oven.
Bake in preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until eggs are set in the center, and not jiggly.
Serve
Remove pan from oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot with minced fresh chives or parsley (if desired), or cool to room temperature and store in the refrigerator or freezer (see post above recipe for storage instructions/tips).
Notes
I've estimated this recipe serves approximately 12-16, but the exact serving size and number of servings is up to you.
I didn't have the best results when using parchment paper on the sheet pan, so I much prefer to just use cooking spray. However, you may have a different result, so feel free to give it a try if you'd like.
For a 9x13" pan, change the number of servings to 8. The ingredient amounts will be automatically calculated for you and that should work well for a 9x13" baking pan. Bake for 18-23 minutes, or until center is set and not jiggly.
