Large ramekins are small oven-safe dishes that are bigger than standard ramekins and are typically used for generous single-serving meals or desserts. They are commonly made from ceramic, porcelain, or glass and are designed to withstand high oven temperatures.

Large ramekins are perfect for individual portions of hearty dishes, such as:

Baked pasta or macaroni and cheese

Shepherd’s pie or casseroles

French onion soup

Pot pies

Baked eggs

Bread pudding or cobblers

Large servings of desserts like lava cake or custard
