Egg Mixture
- 2 cups milk
- 8 large eggs
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Main Ingredients
- ¾ pound Canadian bacon, diced
- 6 English muffins, diced
Toppings & Sauce
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 cup milk (for hollandaise sauce)
- 1 (0.9 oz) package hollandaise sauce mix
- ¼ cup butter
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup after baking.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk, 8 large eggs, chopped green onions, onion powder, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
- Layer Ingredients: In the greased baking dish, layer half of the diced Canadian bacon, then all of the diced English muffin pieces, followed by the remaining Canadian bacon pieces evenly distributed on top.
- Add Egg Mixture: Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the layered bacon and English muffins to ensure all pieces are soaked and will cook evenly.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight (about 8 hours) to allow the flavors to meld and the bread to soak up the liquid.
- Preheat Oven & Add Paprika: The next day, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the casserole from the fridge and sprinkle ground paprika evenly on top for added color and flavor.
- Bake Covered: Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes to cook the egg mixture gently without drying it out.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to brown the top and ensure the casserole is fully cooked through.
- Prepare Hollandaise Sauce: While baking, prepare the hollandaise sauce according to the package instructions by combining 1 cup milk, the hollandaise sauce mix, and ¼ cup butter, heating and stirring until smooth and thickened.
- Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven, let it cool slightly, then serve warm topped with the prepared hollandaise sauce for a classic eggs benedict flavor in casserole form.
Notes
- For best results, refrigerate overnight to allow the muffins to fully soak up the egg mixture.
- You can substitute Canadian bacon with regular ham or turkey bacon if preferred.
- If you don’t have a hollandaise sauce mix, you can make homemade hollandaise sauce from scratch for a fresher taste.
- Use a sharp knife to cut and serve the casserole neatly.
- This casserole can be prepared in advance and baked fresh on the day of serving.
- Ensure casserole is cooked through by inserting a knife in the center to check whether the egg mixture has set.
