Individual breakfast casseroles with eggs, bread, veggies and cheese are made in ramekins and can be customized to suit everyone’s tastes – great for a crowd!

Hi friends! Have you recovered from Cinco de Mayo? Did you blow it out and drink all the margaritas and eat all the yummy food?

We were in for the night but I did make a festive dinner for my husband and I on Friday night and of course we sipped on some fun drinks. The rest of the weekend was low-key, with a kids birthday party and a neighborhood BBQ thrown in for a little fun ❤️

But let’s get right down to it today.

AKA, tell me about the FOOD already lady!

The first time I made these individual breakfast casseroles was for my Mom for Mother’s Day a few years ago. I served them with my whole wheat blueberry waffles (with a hint of orange), chicken sausages and a fruit salad. (Though next time I want to try this boozy fruit salad and these glazed chicken sausage pineapple bites – yum!)

Her verdict that morning?

“This is the best breakfast I’ve ever had.” 😃

And they love to eat out for brunch, so that’s really saying something!

I made them again at Christmas, that year or the next, and served them with my healthy sausage balls and our family favorite cranberry apple salad.

A delicious Christmas morning indeed! ❤️

So yes, I have played with these individual breakfast casseroles a lot over the years! I love that they are so versatile and customizable so that I can make them work for everyone in our family!

✔️ I could make them for M when she was younger and had a milk allergy. I would just use her soy milk and her non-dairy cheese.

✔️ I can make them for my Mom who has an egg allergy. I substitute Egg Beaters for her ramekin.

✔️ I can make them for my Dad, who is picky about vegetables, and just include his favorites.

✔️ I can make them for my mother-in-law, who doesn’t eat gluten, and use her gluten-free bread or leave it out altogether.

See what I mean? This is perfect for serving a group and making sure everyone gets just what they want! 💕

A few notes on these individual breakfast casseroles:

• The individual part of these casseroles is the key! You can add or leave out any of the solids. Gluten-free or low-carb? Skip the bread! They’ll be smaller but will still cook through.
• You can also use your favorite veggies here in place of or in addition to the tomatoes and spinach. If you want to use zucchini, peppers or something else that’s a bit harder, you can sauté them in a pan quickly or steam them for a few minutes to soften them before placing them in the ramekins.
• I wrote the recipe for mozzarella cheese below but we’ve also used goat cheese here. And cheddar or any other shredded cheese could certainly work too.
• I normally use whole wheat bread (since that’s what we usually have on hand) but I’ve made it before with a harder French bread before and that worked great too.
• You can substitute egg beaters for the egg mixture (all or part of it), if you prefer. (I’ve done this for my Mom’s ramekin because she has an egg allergy.)
• Oh, and I use 4” ramekins like these. The full recipe makes 6 large ramekins – these are big servings! You can adjust to how many you need or try a smaller size and keep an eye on the baking time.

I hope you give this a try and I hope you love them as much as I do!

And I’d love to hear if you do make them – tag me on Instagram or leave me a comment below and let me know what variations you tried.

And to all the mamas, I hope you have a fantastic Mother’s Day!

XO,

Kathryn

Preparation 00:15 Cook Time 00:30 Total Time 0:45

Serves 6     adjust servings

Ingredients

For the ramekins:

• Cooking spray
• 3 slices whole wheat bread, cubed
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

For the egg mixture

• 12 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (2%, skim or your favorite)
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350.

Spray 6 ramekins (4” diameter size) with cooking spray. Place on a baking sheet and set aside.

Place torn pieces of bread in bottom of each ramekin and then top with desired toppings: tomatoes, spinach and mozzarella cheese are suggested here but you can absolutely substitute!

Next, make the egg mixture. Beat the eggs in a large bowl with milk, mustard, salt and pepper, until well combined.

Use a measuring cup or ladle to divide egg mixture evenly among the 6 ramekins. You’ll need about 3/4 cup of the egg mixture for each ramekin.

Place the baking sheet with the ramekins in the oven and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes, until set. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. (You can serve in the ramekins or use a knife to loosen the egg casseroles from each ramekin and serve on a plate.)
