Prepare this rich, savory casserole the night before for an easy, crowd-pleasing brunch. It combines the flavors of classic Eggs Benedict in a simple baked form, topped with a quick hollandaise sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 English muffins, cubed
  • 1 pound Canadian bacon or ham, chopped
  • 12 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • For the Hollandaise: 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Distribute the cubed English muffins evenly in the bottom of the dish.
  2. Sprinkle the chopped Canadian bacon over the muffins.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the muffins and bacon. Gently press down to submerge the bread.
  5. Sprinkle the Swiss cheese over the top.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the plastic wrap.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden brown.
  9. While the casserole bakes, prepare the hollandaise: Place egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend on low speed.
  10. Slowly drizzle the hot melted butter into the blender while the blender is running until the sauce is thick and emulsified.
  11. Slice the casserole and serve immediately with a spoonful of the fresh blender hollandaise sauce over each serving.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, assemble the entire casserole up to the cheese layer the night before. Do not add the cheese until just before baking.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of milk in the egg mixture.
  • You can substitute smoked ham for Canadian bacon if desired.
