No way! Your kitchen, your rules. I made these how we like them. If you just want simple scrambled eggs, you can just use salt, pepper and eggs.
Instead of using fresh cooked and crumbled bacon, you can use the store-bought bacon pieces to cut down on work and prep time. You can even buy diced ham already ready to go. It's usually kept by in the deli department or by other ham in the grocery store.
This is a question I get every so often so I wanted to show you how easy it is to make them in the oven! Although it's more like an omelet because we added all the yummy ham, bacon, green onions, etc to it but you can make plain scrambled eggs in a sheet pan, using this recipe minus the add-ins.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container or in a ziptop bag and kept in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze for 2-3 months if stored properly.

HOW TO MAKE SHEET PAN EGGS
Preheat the oven to 375 F degrees. Grease a 12x18 rimmed baking sheet with olive oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray (including up the sides.) Crack all 18 eggs into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in heavy cream and salt and pepper (to taste.) Whisk it all together until fully combined (note: this is fastest with an electric hand mixer.)
Pour the egg mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Next, evenly sprinkle on the cubed ham, bacon, diced green onions and shredded cheese.
Carefully move the filled baking sheet to the oven (on the middle rack) and bake for 10 minutes then rotate the baking sheet and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes more, until the eggs are set.
Cut into 12 pieces for large portions or 16 pieces for smaller pieces.
Serve warm! We like to serve these on biscuits. Whether you use store bought refrigerated biscuits or homemade biscuits, it makes the perfect egg breakfast sandwich!
