Customize to Your Liking

One of the best features of this Eggs Benedict Casserole is its versatility. While the ingredients are classic, feel free to add your own twist. For instance, swap out Canadian bacon for smoked salmon for a seafood take on the traditional recipe. You could also add sautéed spinach or fresh herbs for an extra layer of flavor and nutrition.

Another way to customize is through the type of cheese used. While cheddar is a popular choice, you could explore Gruyère or feta for a new taste experience. Don’t hesitate to experiment with different seasonings in the egg mixture, such as garlic powder or dashed hot sauce for a kick.

Perfect for Meal Prep

This Eggs Benedict Casserole is not only delightful but also ideal for meal prep. You can assemble the casserole the night before, cover it tightly, and store it in the fridge. This means less stress in the morning, allowing you to relax and enjoy quality time with your guests.

The casserole can even be frozen for future enjoyment. Just ensure it’s stored in an airtight container. To reheat, simply thaw in the fridge overnight, then bake as directed. This makes it a fantastic option for busy weekdays or quick weekend brunches, showcasing that delicious meals can also be convenient.

Ingredients

Gather your ingredients for a delightful brunch experience.

Ingredients

4 English muffins, split and toasted
8 slices Canadian bacon
8 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 recipe hollandaise sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Make sure to prep all ingredients before starting the cooking process.

Instructions

Follow these steps to create a delicious casserole.

Prepare the Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a greased baking dish, layer the toasted English muffins evenly on the bottom.

Add Canadian Bacon

Evenly distribute the Canadian bacon over the English muffin layer.

Mix the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mix over the layers in the baking dish.

Top with Cheese

Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the egg mixture.

Bake the Casserole

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until set and golden.

Add Hollandaise Sauce

Once baked, drizzle with hollandaise sauce before serving.

Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

When it comes to serving your Eggs Benedict Casserole, consider pairing it with a fresh fruit salad or crispy hash browns for a complete brunch experience. The brightness of the fruit complements the rich flavors of the casserole, while the hash browns add texture. Just a simple side of mixed greens dressed with vinaigrette can also balance the richness beautifully.

For a festive occasion, don’t forget the drinks! A chilled mimosa or a refreshing Bloody Mary can elevate the brunch experience. Tailor the drinks to the season; a pumpkin spiced latte works wonderfully in the fall, while iced coffee is perfect for summer gatherings.

Tips for Success

To ensure the best results, use day-old English muffins for the base. They will soak up the egg mixture without becoming too soggy. Additionally, make sure to evenly distribute the hollandaise sauce after baking to enhance every bite with that signature creaminess.

If you're using homemade hollandaise sauce, prepare it shortly before serving. Alternatively, store-bought options work great too. Either way, don’t skimp on this essential component—it truly elevates the dish’s flavor profile!
