Individual Spinach Cheddar Egg Bake Recipe (Mini Casserole)

These easy egg bakes are the perfect busy morning breakfast. Who needs to spend all morning stirring scrambled eggs or flipping the pan-fried version? These egg bakes take less than 5 minutes to mix up and you can finish getting ready while they bake away. Switch out your favorite vegetables, cheeses, and herbs to tailor the flavor to your liking. Multiply the recipe to feed as many mouths as you need.

Ingredients (multiply by each serving for multiples):

  • non-stick spray
  • 1 cage free or farm fresh egg
  • 1 tablespoon frozen, chopped spinach
  • 1 tablespoon grated cheddar cheese (use less for stronger cheeses like parmesan)
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • pinch of salt
  • a bit of fresh-ground pepper
  • dash of garlic powder
  • dash of dill, option, but fantastic!

Directions:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly spray individual casserole dish(es) with non-stick spray.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.
  3. Evenly distribute egg mixture to individual casserole dish(es). Bake until edges are golden brown and egg is set in the middle, about 16-19 minutes (depending oven temperature, etc.). Note: I used a toothpick to check doneness, sort of like you would for cake.
  4. Enjoy!

Other veggies I recommend to mix in: chopped broccoli, kale, cauliflower. Yum! Additional flavor combos: broccoli/cheddar, spinach/feta, tomato/parmesan, sun-dried tomato + spinach/parmesan, kale/mozzarella, kale/smoked gouda…the possibilities are endless!

What veggie/cheese combo egg bake would you most like to eat?

I am so happy that you posted this recipe, I have been wanting to try it since you first posted the pictures. I would have to put in Zucchini I am on a big kick for that at the moment. Where did you get the mini dishes?

My MIL gave me the dishes, but I’ve heard you can find them at TJ Maxx/Marshalls. They’re le Creuset, so you can get them anywhere that sells the brand…I know Sur la Table has them. ;)

Yum! This is my type of dish! I love mushroom and goat cheese in my omelets so I’d try some in the egg bake :) .

I don’t like mushrooms…or goat cheese, but that actually sounds really good! I think that would make a nice flavor combo!

Mmm, this sounds great! I have to ask, where do you get your mini casseroles? I think I might have to find some around here. :)

They’re Le Creuset so you can get them anywhere that sells that brand – like Sur la Table. I’ve heard you can find them at TJ Maxx / Marshalls, too, for less. I think most places with kitchen stuff would have something similar – Target or Crate and Barrel.
