This Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Egg Bake is a simple breakfast casserole that can be made ahead of time to make mornings a little less stressful! Filled with fresh spinach and artichokes and topped with a sprinkling of cheese, this egg bake is an easy, healthy option to add to your menu!
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! (If you’re looking for an egg casserole with even more veggies, check out this Easy Vegetable Egg Bake!)
Add to that the eggs and artichokes, and 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!
Tips for Making Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Egg Bake
- Make sure you thoroughly drain the artichokes. I like to pat them with a paper towel after chopping them to get rid of the excess moisture. Too much moisture will change the texture of the egg bake.
- We like to sprinkle a few crushed red pepper flakes over the top right before serving for a bit of heat.
- Fresh spinach works the best in this recipe. However, you can use frozen spinach. Just make sure to thaw it, and remove the excess moisture before using.
- The egg bake is done when the center doesn’t jiggle when you move the pan and the edges are starting to brown. You will notice that the egg bake puffs as it bakes and then settles as it cools. That’s normal.

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!

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!
