A ramekin (/ËrÃ¦mÉªkÉªn/, /ËrÃ¦mkÉªn/; also spelled ramequin) is a small glazed ceramic or glass bowl used for cooking and serving various dishes. The term is derived from French ramequin, originally a cheese- or meat-based dish baked in a small mold. The French term is derived from early modern Flemish rammeken, which translated to 'toast' or 'roasted minced meat', itself apparently from ram 'battering ram' + -kin 'diminutive', but it is unclear why.
