I cannot wait to hear what you think of these sheet pan eggs. All my french onion soup lovers, you’re going to be obsessed with these!

What ingredients you need to make French Onion sheet pan eggs:

• Olive oil – or use avocado oil if you prefer
• Yellow or white onions – you’ll want to thinly slice these. You need about 2 cups raw onions so depending on the size of the onion you made need 3
• Dried thyme – you can also chopped up fresh thyme as well
• Garlic cloves – freshly minced garlic gloves for this dish
• Chicken, veggie or beef broth – really any broth works. I have used all 3 of these and they are all great
• Dry white wine – if you don’t have wine, omit but the alcohol also burns off from cooking
• Large eggs – I don’t have a sub for eggs as they’re a key part of the recipe!
• Milk – or use heavy cream for an even richier recipe
• Gruyere cheese – I don’t have a sub for this cheese as gruyere cheese is great for flavor and creaminess in this recipe

• What are some other variations for this recipe? Add some baby kale or spinach for veggies. You can also add in some mushrooms, goat cheese, anything else that you may be craving.
