Very nice solution, doesn't email me, but this works for what I need.

I played around with this and went through the Laravel core files and came up with something similar to what you see on an error page.

You just need to create a view file that echos out $content for the email

public function report(\Exception $e)
{
    if ($e instanceof \Exception) {

        $debugSetting = Config::get('app.debug');

        Config::set('app.debug', true);
        if (ExceptionHandler::isHttpException($e)) {
            $content = ExceptionHandler::toIlluminateResponse(ExceptionHandler::renderHttpException($e), $e);
        } else {
            $content = ExceptionHandler::toIlluminateResponse(ExceptionHandler::convertExceptionToResponse($e), $e);
        }

        Config::set('app.debug', $debugSetting);

        $data['content'] = (!isset($content->original)) ? $e->getMessage() : $content->original;

        Mail::queue('errors.emails.error', $data, function ($m) {
            $m->to('email@email.com', 'Server Message')->subject('Error');
        });
    }

    return parent::report($e);
}
