Ingredients
  

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (20 ml / 0.7 fl oz) black pepper
  • 2 cups (300 g / 10.6 oz) diced cooked ham
  • 1 cup (113 g / 4 oz) shredded pepper jack cheese
  • For the fluffiest texture, avoid overbaking. The eggs should be just set in the middle when you pull them from the oven, as they will continue to cook slightly on the hot pan.
  • These squares are perfect for meal prep. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
  • Feel free to add more veggies! A half cup of finely chopped spinach, bell peppers, or sautéed onions adds extra flavor and nutrients.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C. Generously grease a 9x13 inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper together until they are light, airy, and slightly frothy.
  4. Gently fold in the diced ham and shredded pepper jack cheese until evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
  5. Carefully pour the egg mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it into a smooth, even layer.
  6. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares to serve.
  8. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on two sides. This creates 'handles' to easily lift the entire baked egg sheet out for cutting.
