Baked Eggs In Ramekins With Mushrooms, Peppers And Green Onions – easy to make, great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. A guide on how to bake eggs in the oven over sautéed vegetables.
I’ve been planning to make baked eggs for over a month now! And finally today I was able to do so. They are really good and filling for breakfast, but you can eat them any time.
In this recipe I just used pretty much what I had -of course eggs, baby bella mushrooms, scallions and yellow peppers, but feel free to add your favorite vegetables and even some bacon or ham. It is super easy to prepare, bake and serve.
What are baked eggs aka Eggs En Cocotte?
You may have heard of baked eggs, or even made them. The popular Oeufs (Eggs) En Cocotte or Shirred Eggs are eggs that have been baked in a flat bottomed dish, often times with heavy cream.
They are super easy to make with minimal ingredients.
My inspiration for today’s recipe however came from a different place, not the traditional baked eggs in cocottes.
In Bulgaria we have similar dishes, baked in small clay pots for individual serving.
You add vegetables and meat at the bottom and crack an egg on top. Then cover with the a lid and bake until the egg and the rest of the ingredients are cooked.
This is how the recipe for these Baked Eggs In Ramekins With Mushrooms, Peppers And Green Onions came up.
What ingredients do you need to make these baked eggs in ramekins?
- oil or butter
- peppers
- mushrooms
- salt
- black pepper
- eggs
- green onion
- parmesan cheese (optional)
How to make baked eggs in ramekins?
These are not your typical baked eggs. These eggs in ramekins lie over sautéed mushrooms, onions and peppers.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a pan, cook the mushrooms, peppers and onions for 5 minutes, until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the sautéed vegetables between 2 greased ramekins.
- Crack an egg on top of each one.
- Bake in the oven until the eggs are fully cooked (15-20 min).
How long does it take for eggs to bake in the oven?
It normally takes about 15 minutes to bake eggs in the oven at 350 F.
What do you use a ramekin for?
A ramekin is a small glazed ceramic, porcelain, or glass bowl that is designed to be used at high temperatures. They are mostly used for preparing and serving individual portions and come in different sizes and sometimes vary in shape.
The ramekins we are using today are 3.5″ diameter x 2.5″H.
They are often used to make mug cakes, creme brûlée, flan and baked eggs like the ones I’m sharing today.

Great way to cook eggs! So delicious!
So what volume of ramekin to use?
Hi, 3-4 ounce capacity is fine 🙂
These look delicious, I’m going to give them a try this afternoon! Your pictures look beautiful, too ?
Thank you! Hope you like them! Very easy to make!
Your description of cooking the Bulgarian dish says: “Then cover with the a and bake” typo? You don’t say anything about covering ramekin so I’m confused
No covering, typo I’ll fix it now. Thanks!
Where do you see cover? Is it in this recipe?
I found this recipe when searching for alternative methods for cooking eggs. They were a hit with my picky husband. I substituted Cajun spiced deli turkey.

Sounds delicious!!!
Hi Mira,
First, thanks for the recipe.
Second, like Charles, this also confused me a bit.
Under the heading “WHAT ARE BAKED EGGS AKA EGGS EN COCOTTE?” there is the following 2 line paragraph :
But in the recipe steps/instructions you never mention covering the ramekins. So the question is should the ramekins be covered before sliding them in the oven. I realise that I could cover just one of the ramekins and find out what gives the best result.
Hi Robert, I first bake them covered, then add the eggs and bake uncovered.
Hi Mira,
Thanks very much for clarifying. I will give this a go next Saturday morning. 🙂
Hope you like them!
Line 3 of the list of ingredients says ” 1 1 /1 cups small mushrooms sliced.” I suspect that “11/1 cups” is a typo.
Could you clarify? Thanks!
Hi Diane,
I’ll fix this. It is 1 and 1/2 (1.5) cups mushrooms.
