I discovered something last week. I don’t make enough egg bakes. They are SO easy to make with very little prep work, bake time, or dirty dishes (and let’s face it, sometimes the amount of dirty dishes a recipe makes can be a deal breaker!).
I was wanting breakfast for dinner one night, and this cheesy spinach artichoke egg bake popped into my mind. I love the spinach and artichoke combo and knew that it would taste great with eggs and cheese!
It’s basically a healthier version of spinach and artichoke dip, but for breakfast (or dinner!). You can pack lots of fresh spinach into this bake to get a hearty dose of veggies!
Along with the eggs and artichokes, you get all kinds of nutrients. If you want to make it a bit healthier, you can use less cheese or try a low-fat version of your favorite cheese.
The best part is that you can make a big pan and have leftovers the next few days! Just pop a slice in the microwave and you have a quick, hearty (and healthy) breakfast.
If you’re like me, you may be a bit wary at the thought of microwaving eggs. I was afraid that the bake would be all rubbery or dried out.
The egg bake was still just as flavorful, cheesy, and moist as it was the day it was made. You don’t have to just enjoy heartier breakfast food on the weekend, you can enjoy this cheesy spinach and artichoke egg bake any day of the week!

I’m right there with you–I don’t make egg bakes that often. I’m actually planning to make one this weekend to use up my leftover ham! Love the spinach and artichoke combo!

I love the idea of making this and then having a savory breakfast ready to go all week! I love savory breakfast options but they usually only happen on the weekend for me … this could definitely change that!

Emily @ Life on Food says
I went to a baby shower recently and had baked eggs. I thought the same thing. Why do I do this? Yours looks amazing. Next weekend I swear…

This artichoke egg bake looks really delightful! Yum! Egg bakes are totally underrated…I agree, I don’t make enough of them either. I’m definitely inspired to try this one!

I used minced onion instead and added more than required in recipe. I also added about a cup of heavy whipping cream. I think this could still use more flavor (maybe more onion and cheese?) but overall easy, filling, and good consistency.
Betsy Kerner says
Do you think I could assemble this the night before and bake in the morning?
Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction says
Yes! I might wait to sprinkle the cheese on top until right before baking, but it wouldn’t matter that much. Hope that helps!
