Ingredients

2 cups milk
8 large eggs
3 stalks green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
¾ pound Canadian bacon, diced
6 English muffins, diced
½ teaspoon ground paprika
1 cup milk
1 (0.9 oz) package hollandaise sauce mix
¼ cup butter

Instructions

Step 1: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of milk, eggs, chopped green onions, onion powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3: Layer half of the diced Canadian bacon evenly in the baking dish, then spread all the diced English muffins over it, followed by the remaining bacon.
Step 4: Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the dish.
Step 5: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight to let the flavors meld and the muffins soak up the egg mixture.
Step 6: When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and sprinkle the ground paprika evenly on top.
Step 7: Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is set and lightly golden.
Step 8: Meanwhile, prepare the hollandaise sauce according to the package instructions using 1 cup of milk and ¼ cup of butter. Serve the sauce warm over casserole portions.

Tips & Variations

For a vegetarian version, substitute the Canadian bacon with sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
Use whole wheat English muffins for a nuttier flavor and added fiber.
Make sure to cover the casserole tightly before refrigeration to prevent it from absorbing any fridge odors.
Adding a sprinkle of shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese on top before baking adds extra richness.

Storage

Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through. The hollandaise sauce is best served fresh, but you can reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave in short bursts if needed.

How to Serve

The dish sits on a wooden board with some green herbs slightly blurred in the background, all placed on a white marbled texture surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare this casserole without overnight refrigeration?

Yes, you can bake it immediately after assembling, but allowing it to soak overnight improves texture and flavor as the muffins fully absorb the egg mixture.

Can I freeze the casserole?

Eggs Benedict Casserole can be frozen before baking. Assemble in a freezer-safe dish, cover tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
