Create a gourmet brunch experience with this make-ahead Eggs Benedict Casserole. It layers English muffins, Canadian bacon, and eggs, topped with a simple, rich hollandaise sauce, minimizing morning effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 English muffins, split and torn into pieces
  • 1 pound Canadian bacon, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • For the Hollandaise: 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange half of the torn English muffin pieces evenly in the bottom of the dish.
  2. Scatter the Canadian bacon pieces over the muffins, followed by half of the cheddar cheese. Top with the remaining muffin pieces and the rest of the cheese.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture slowly and evenly over the muffin and bacon layers in the baking dish. Press down gently to help the muffins absorb the liquid.
  5. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove the plastic wrap.
  7. Bake the casserole uncovered for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  8. While the casserole bakes, prepare the hollandaise sauce. Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend for 30 seconds.
  9. With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle the hot, melted butter into the yolk mixture until the sauce is thick and emulsified.
  10. Serve the baked casserole warm, topped with a generous drizzle of the easy blender hollandaise sauce.

Notes

  • Making this casserole the night before is key for a stress-free morning brunch gathering.
  • If you prefer a less rich sauce, you can substitute half the butter with olive oil in the hollandaise.
  • For a different flavor, swap Canadian bacon for cooked, chopped ham or turkey bacon.
