My Mom’s Copycake Panera Spinach and Artichoke Egg Souffles
We visited my mom a couple of weekends ago. I love going to her house because she always makes us feel like VIP’s.
She planned out the whole weekend with special meals, things to do, she even put little treat bags on our pillows! One of my favorite things we did that weekend was cook together! My mom and her friend Karen love Panera’s egg souffles. They have been experimenting for months trying to recreate the breakfast dish and finally found a winner!
Create a Beautiful Breakfast Souffle in 30 Minutes
We made their Spinach and Artichoke Egg Souffles and had such a fun time making them! They take about 30 minutes to make and cook.
Using Some Pre-Packaged Ingredients Saves Time
There are a couple of things that make this recipe easier to create. The first is that we used pre-packaged spinach artichoke dip from Costco. The second is that for the crust we used a puff pastry sheet!
Fluffier, Bigger Souffles than Panera’s
Another thing that I think makes this recipe even better than Panera’s version is that our souffles are fluffier and taller. The Panera version is pretty flat. You can see the difference in the pictures. The serving size is 4 LARGE souffles. If you want to use smaller souffle dishes, you can make 6-8 smaller souffles. It just depends on the size of your dishes.

Instructions
-
Makes 4 large souffles. Can make 6 souffles if you use a smaller ramekin.
3 eggs - whisked + 1 egg for egg wash
1/2 cup spinach artichoke dip (Costco)
1 sheet puff pastry
Butter to butter the ramekins
1/2 cup shredded cheese
Roux:
1/2 stick butter
2T. Flour
1 cup whole milk
-
Preheat oven to 400
-
Butter ramekins.
-
Make Roux:
In a medium saucepan add butter until melted.
Add milk and flour and stir under medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until it gets thick.
Mix until it gets thick. Take off heat and set aside to cool.
-
In a small mixing bowl beat eggs with a little salt and pepper.
-
Take puff pastry and spread a sheet out on parchment paper. Stretch it out a little and cut it into 4 pieces. Put them in the ramekins and fit so that the puff pastry comes up over the rims on at least two sides.
-
Add 1/2 cup spinach dip to the whisked eggs and then add the cooked roux mixture. Mix until combined, then add 1/2 any kind of cheese (we used Colby Jack). Mix all together then divide into four and put inside the puff pastry in ramekins.
-
Fold the edges over.
-
Beat 1 egg in a bowl. Brush egg onto the top of the puff pastry and pop into the oven for 20-25 minutes.
-
Take them out when they puff up and are gently brown at the top. You can stick a skewer in one to make sure the eggs have cooked through. Serve!
An Easy Impressive Brunch Idea
These egg souffles look so impressive but are easy to make. They are the perfect weekend brunch centerpiece. You butter the ramekins before you put the puff pastry in, so they pop right out of the ramekins and you can serve them on a plate.

Thank you for sharing!! Wanted to let you know how much my family enjoys going to Panera but at $5 a pop, being able to make these at home is such a treat!! It’s Christmas morning and these little soufflés are our go-to family breakfast!!! Again, thank you for taking the time to share your recipe!!! It is much appreciated!!! 🙂
Thank you for the recipe! Can you freeze these?
Hi Jane! Yes I think so. You would cover them and then when thawing, put them in the fridge to thaw overnight before you cook them at the normal temperature. Let me know how they do!

What size in oz were your ramekins ?
We don’t have a Costco nearby, so had to alter the recipe in that regard. I used cooked chopped spinach( squeezed dry) and a couple artichoke hearts (dried with paper towels) and about a teaspoon of seasoning packet to make art/spin dip. Turned out fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
I don’t have any ramekins. Do you think this could be made in a larger version? Like maybe a brownie sized pan? Thank!
Hi Lana —
I think you can make this in a larger container but you might have to cook your container a little long and on a little lower heat?

I made this in a glass 9” pie pan and it was perfect.
Yay! That’s so great to hear!
xoxo
It’s so good!
