Eggs Benedict Casserole

🍳 Eggs Benedict Casserole — Brunch Royalty in a Baking Dish

If brunch had a crown jewel, this casserole would be sparkling at the center of the table.

Some breakfasts are quick. Some breakfasts are fancy. But Eggs Benedict Casserole? She’s both. It’s the cozy, make‑ahead version of the classic brunch dish we all love — complete with English muffins, Canadian bacon, fluffy eggs, and a drizzle of golden hollandaise sauce.

It’s the kind of dish that makes you feel like you’re at a fancy café, but you’re actually still in your slippers. And the best part? You can prep it the night before, pop it in the oven, and wow your family or guests without breaking a sweat.

Ingredients

• 6 English Muffins torn or cut into 1½-inch pieces
• 6 ounces thinly sliced Canadian Bacon chopped into 2 inch pieces
• 4 to 6 green onions, sliced
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon dried mustard
• 1½ teaspoons salt
• ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon ground sweet paprika
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• Hollandaise sauce:
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

Open the English muffins and place on a large baking sheet. Turn the oven on to broil and cook the English muffins until lightly toasted on each side. Cool and cut into ½" cubes.

Place English muffins in the bottom of a 9x9 pan. Top with Canadian bacon & green onions.

In a large bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients to make the egg mixture. Gently spoon over English muffins. Sprinkle with cornmeal and cover with foil.

Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Bake

• Place the pan on the counter while the oven preheats to 350°F.
• Bake covered for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• While the casserole is baking, prepare hollandaise sauce.
• Allow resting 10 minutes before cutting. If desired, poach additional runny eggs to place on top while the casserole bakes.
  Cut into squares and serve with Hollandaise sauce and additional paprika if desired.

For the hollandaise sauce:

Bring a few inches of water to a light boil in a medium saucepan, reduce to low heat, or a light simmer. 

In glass bowl that's large enough to fit over that same medium saucepan (or double boiler) whisk together egg yolks, cream, lemon juice and mustard.

Set bowl over simmering water in saucepan (bowl shouldn't touch water) and whisk mixture constantly until it reaches 160 degrees, or coats the back of a spoon. 

Reduce to very low heat and while whisking very slowly pour in melted butter. 

Remove from bowl from saucepan. Add in salt, sugar and cayenne pepper and mix well. Serve casserole warm topped with warm hollandaise sauce and minced herbs.

💭 Final Thoughts

This Eggs Benedict Casserole is proof that brunch doesn’t have to be complicated to feel special. With English muffins, Canadian bacon, fluffy eggs, and creamy hollandaise, it’s the kind of dish that makes everyone feel spoiled — without you spending hours in the kitchen.

It’s also endlessly adaptable. You can keep it classic, go veggie, or even turn it into mini muffin cups. And because it’s so easy, it’s perfect for holidays, potlucks, or cozy Sunday mornings.

Here’s the thing about brunch casseroles — they’re more than just food. They’re a reason to gather, to linger at the table, and to start the day with something joyful. They’re the smell of eggs and muffins baking, the sight of golden casserole puffing in the oven, and the sound of happy chatter as everyone digs in.

And this Eggs Benedict version? It’s a little extra special. It’s indulgent, it’s comforting, and it’s guaranteed to make you the star of any brunch spread. It’s the kind of dish that makes people pause mid‑bite and say, “Wow, this is amazing.”

But here’s what I love most: it’s a recipe that invites creativity. You can swap proteins, add veggies, spice it up, or keep it mild. It’s forgiving, flexible, and fun — just like the best kind of kitchen adventures.

So here’s my challenge to you: bake it, share it, and tell me your twist. Did you go smoked salmon? Did you sneak in spinach? Did you eat a slice straight from the pan before serving? (No judgment — I’ve been there.) Snap a pic, post it, and tag it so we can all drool together.

💬 Reader prompt: Should we do a “Brunch Casserole Series” next? I’m dreaming up cinnamon roll casserole, cheesy hash brown bake, and maybe even a croissant breakfast strata.

Until then, may your muffins be golden, your hollandaise silky, your eggs fluffy, and your kitchen full of laughter, love, and second helpings. Because at the end of the day, food isn’t just about filling our bellies — it’s about filling our lives with joy, connection, and a little sparkle. And this casserole? It’s ready to do all three.
