Baked Eggs
I like to think of cheesy baked eggs as sort of a mini crustless quiche or breakfast casserole.
Although I like to bake my eggs with just a little cheese, you can really add any ingredient that you like. Consider making them with cheese and bacon or with cheese and spinach.
How To Make Baked Eggs
Step 1
Butter a small ramekin and set it aside while you whisk together 2 eggs, cream, shredded Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 2
Pour the egg mixture into the buttered ramekin and bake it in a preheated oven for 15-18 minutes.
That’s it!
Light, fluffy and so tasty.
This breakfast recipe is incredibly easy, super fast, and totally foolproof. It takes just 5 minutes to throw everything together!
What Size Baking Dish Is Best When Making Cheesy Baked Eggs For One?
In this Cheesy Baked Eggs recipe, I use an oven-safe ramekin that holds 8-ounces. For best results, use a dish of similar size.

Wonderful little cheese soufflé!! Perfect as written, and so much easier than a souffle.
The second time I made it I added a dash of garlic salt, a sprinkle of chives and a tiny dab of left-over cream cheese. Would be great with a salad for dinner also.
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Nancy. Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know!

I only found this site last night, but I plan to come back often. So I tried the Easy Cheesy Baked Egg. I didn’t want to fry bacon so I used 2 T. of left over Turkey Taco meat and cheese. It turned out great. The meat seasoned the egg perfectly. Thanks for creating this site. Love, love, love it.
Hi Del,
I’m so happy you found us! I love how you “tweaked” the recipe to use what you had in your fridge – always a great idea, especially in this recipe. Thanks for writing!
Great recipe, Joanie! I added a pinch of nutmeg. I wanted to let you know, the bake time for me is 30 minutes. Something for your readers to be aware of.
Thank you, Angela. I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe.
The baked eggs were easy and delicious! Baked in about 18 minutes in my oven. Made for myself and spouse with bacon, tomato on the side.
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Glenna. Thank you so much for letting me know.

This was amazing! I highly reccomend making this.
any reason I could not bake this in my toaster oven?
Hi Cathie,
You definitely can make it in your toaster oven. Hope you enjoy it!
I cooked mine in the toaster oven. They came out fine. Just use bake. The 1st one I wasn’t paying attention until I smelled it, browned rather nicely in less than 2 minutes. After I switched to bake it was all goodness.
Joanie,
This was a wonderful recipe. I doubled it for two of us and used separate baking dishes and it was wonderful and we both loved it and will use it again for breakfast, or for a light dinner with a salad. Thanks so much for your wonderful recipes and blog.
