Sheet Pan Brussels Sprouts with Sunny Side Eggs
This fast and easy sheet pan creation works for breakfast, brunch or even a quickie dinner. The Brussels sprouts roast to tender perfection in the oven—the leaves crisp up and become irresistible (my favorite part!).
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Brussels Sprouts, halved or quartered
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ to 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- Freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400º. Liberally mist a baking sheet with olive oil spray and set aside.
- Add Brussels sprouts to a large mixing bowl and toss with olive oil. Sprinkle on salt, pepper and garlic power, and toss to evenly distribute among the veggies.
- Lay the sprouts on ½ of prepared baking sheet and place in oven on bottom rack for 12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
- Remove pan and push sprouts aside to create 4 small nests, liberally mist each space with oil spray, and carefully crack one egg on each nest. Bake for an additional 5 to 8 minutes or until egg whites just set, but yolk remains runny.
- Remove from oven and garnish with freshly grated pecorino or parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
Notes
• Be sure to liberally spray the pan before adding each egg to their nest. This will prevent the eggs from sticking. For easy clean up use parchment (but you’ll create better caramelization by allowing the veggies to have direct contact with heated sheet pan)
• I use the bottom rack in oven for this dish.
• If your baking sheet is tough to clean, here are two tricks:
-Sprinkle baking soda on your sheet pan and then pour hydrogen peroxide over the powder until powder is soaked. Let it soak overnight in the sink. In the morning, scrape baking soda in the garbage then wash sheet with soap and warm water using a sponge until it’s clean.
-Another idea is to use a combo of baking soda and white vinegar: Fill a plugged sink (about a quarter of the way) with hot water and ½ cup each of baking soda and white vinegar. Let the baking sheet soak about an hour. Scrub sheet with a scouring pad or scrubbing sponge. After ridding pan of any residue, wash pan with soap and warm water. You get a two-for-one benefit because the mixture also cleans the sink and drain, too.
