Season the Eggs: Crack 2 eggs into each ramekin. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs. Add on your favorite toppings if desired.

Bake the Eggs: Bake for 14-17 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolk is cooked to your desired doneness.

Your baked eggs are ready to enjoy! Serve them straight from the ramekins for a lovely presentation.

Possible Substitutes List & Recipe Variations

You can make tasty baked eggs even if you don’t have all the ingredients. Here are some easy swaps:

Butter substitutes:
• Olive oil
• Coconut oil
• Cooking spray

No eggs? Try these options (1/4 cup = 1 egg):
• Mashed banana

For a dairy-free version, skip the cheese toppings. Add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.

Fun topping ideas:

You can also bake the eggs in muffin tins for smaller portions. Just reduce the cooking time by a few minutes.

For a heartier meal, add a layer of hash browns or cooked quinoa to the bottom of each ramekin before adding the eggs.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Grease your ramekins well to prevent sticking. You can use butter, oil, or cooking spray. This makes cleanup much easier.

For extra flavor, try adding a splash of cream or milk to each ramekin before cracking in the eggs. This creates a richer, creamier texture.

Keep a close eye on your eggs while baking. Oven temperatures can vary, so check them a minute or two early to avoid overcooking.

Want runny yolks? Take the eggs out when the whites are just set but the yolks still jiggle slightly. They’ll continue cooking a bit after removal.

Experiment with different toppings and seasonings. Try fresh herbs, crumbled bacon, or your favorite cheese for endless variety.

To store leftovers, let the eggs cool completely. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave in 15-second bursts.

For meal prep, you can crack eggs into greased muffin tins instead of ramekins. Bake as directed and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
