A delicious and hearty Eggs Benedict Casserole, perfect for brunch or special gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 cup diced cooked ham (or Canadian bacon)
- 1 package (12 oz) English muffins, split and toasted, then cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
- Hollandaise Sauce:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and cayenne pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Stir in the Swiss cheese and diced ham (or Canadian bacon).
- In a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish, layer the toasted English muffin cubes evenly across the bottom.
- Pour the egg mixture over the English muffin cubes, ensuring all muffin pieces are well-coated.
- Gently press the mixture down to ensure it’s compacted.
- Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- While the casserole is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice together until thick and pale (about 2 minutes).
- Gradually drizzle in the melted butter while continuously whisking until you achieve the desired creamy consistency. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Keep warm.
- Once the casserole is out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares for serving.
- Drizzle the warm Hollandaise sauce over each serving and garnish with fresh chives.
Notes
- Hollandaise sauce can be made ahead of time and gently reheated before serving.
- Feel free to substitute the ham with cooked sausage or vegetables for a different flavor.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before; just bake it in the morning.
