This Easy Eggs Benedict Casserole is a delicious and convenient twist on the classic eggs Benedict, combining layers of English muffins, Canadian bacon, eggs, and cheese baked to perfection and topped with creamy hollandaise sauce.

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 12 large eggs
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Base Layer

  • 8 English muffins, quartered
  • 8 ounces Canadian bacon or ham
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Topping

  • 1 cup hollandaise sauce
  • Chopped chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready when the casserole is assembled.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and Dijon mustard until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and evenly place the quartered English muffins at the bottom. Layer the Canadian bacon or ham on top of the muffins, then pour the egg mixture evenly over everything. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  4. Bake Covered: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to allow the eggs to cook through gently.
  5. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes until the casserole is fully set and golden brown on top.
  6. Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before drizzling with hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute whole milk with low-fat milk and use reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
  • You can prepare this casserole the night before; assemble it and refrigerate overnight, then bake the next morning, adding an extra 5-10 minutes to the bake time.
  • To make it gluten-free, replace English muffins with gluten-free bread or a suitable alternative.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • For extra flavor, add diced bell peppers or sautéed spinach in the layering step.
