Individual breakfast casseroles with eggs, bread, veggies and cheese are made in ramekins and can be customized to suit everyone’s tastes. They’re 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! 💕
Notes on making 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! The casseroles will 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 these mini breakfast casseroles 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

We stayed in for Cinco de Mayo, too, I’m too old to keep up with those youngsters at bars. LOL. Glad y’all had a nice time at home! Breakfast is my favorite meal, and Mother’s day is definitely all about that brunch! These would be perfect for celebrating mom… or myself. 😉 I love individual dishes like this, because I’m terrible at sharing delicious food! These look scrumptious, girlfriend! Cheers!!
Kathryn says
Haha, I’m terrible at sharing, too!

I love the versatility of this recipe! And putting the casserole in ramekins is such a great way to individualize the meal. Looks tasty!

Thanks Luci! It’s so helpful when you’ve got a group with wide ranging dietary needs!
Mimi says
These are really fun – i love the individual servings. And i never thought about it, but they can be customized for the pickier eaters!! I should make some of these for when my grand daughter visits – she would love them!
Kathryn says
Thanks Mimi! Yes, they can be customized to all kinds of dietary restrictions and preferences!
Edwina says
As soon as I saw the photo of these I knew I wanted to make them. Correction…I wanted to eat them! They look delicious. The idea of making individual ones for a group brunch is genius. I’m going to do it. Thanks so much for sharing.
Kathryn says
Thanks so much Edwina! I hope you love them!
Linda says
Can you put assembled egg ramekins in refrigerator overnight?
Thanks for the recipe, look forward to trying.
Kathryn says
Hi Linda! I’ve never tried that so I can’t say for sure. But I have made overnight egg casseroles that aren’t so different from this so I think it could work. Would love to hear if you try it!
