Ingredients
Scale
Primary Protein:
- 18 large eggs
Main Dairy:
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup half and half or milk
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh chives, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and thoroughly coat a 12×17-inch rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Carefully line the sprayed baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage, and apply another light layer of cooking spray.
- Crack all eggs into a large mixing bowl or blender, gently whisking them until just combined without creating excessive foam.
- Pour half-and-half into the eggs, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Whisk the egg mixture until ingredients are evenly distributed and smooth.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it into an even, thin layer.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheese across the entire surface of the egg mixture.
- Finely chop fresh herbs and distribute them evenly over the cheese-topped eggs.
- Cautiously slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven, positioning it in the center rack.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the egg sheet to cool for 3-5 minutes.
- Cut into uniform squares and serve immediately while still warm.
