All the goodness of Eggs Benedict without the fuss!

Toasted English muffins soaked in a milk and egg mixture, topped with tons of Canadian bacon and a cheater hollandaise sauce you will love!

I love ‘combo-foods’.  Hybrids if you will.  Like Banana Foster Upsidedown Cake or Jalapeño  Popper Stuffed Chicken  . You take a we’ll known recipe  and morf them into one delicious dish!

How to make Eggs Benedict Casserole

Start by toasting your english muffins.  We like to put them all on a large sheet pan and broil them until brown.  Or you could put them in a toaster a couple at a time….have ya ever noticed how long it takes for english muffins to toast?  Try the sheet pan method if you can!

Canadian Bacon vs. Ham – I like Canadian bacon best, but it can be pricey.  Ham is a great substitute for this casserole.  You can buy it already cut in cubes.  If  you use Canadian bacon, try to get the thickest cut you can.

Now whisk up your eggs and milk and pour over your toasted english muffins and canadian bacon.

How long does this Eggs Benedict Casserole have to sit before I can bake it?

  • Anywhere from one hour to overnight.  I have made this both ways and can not tell a difference.  It’s up to you and your schedule. (p.s.  this particular batch was soaked for only one hour…looks pretty good to me!).

So lets chat about the Hollandaise.  I cheat.    I usually get some smack talk about using this method but once they try it they become a believer…and you will too.

  • We use a package mix.  I know!  I know! Don’t hate me…but it’s so good!
  • Doll it up with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a couple tablespoons of cream cheese and it is lovely and delicious!
  • It holds up for a long time in lieu of scratch made or blender hollandaise (Julia Childs rendition) which has to be kept warm and breaks down pretty fast.
  • We love Knorr Brand.  No compensation from them, just find their packaged sauce mixes much better.

Serve this delicious casserole along with a side of steamed asparagus and fresh fruit for a perfect easy on the cook brunch!

 

Another great brunch recipe is our Breakfast Casserole with Hashbrowns and Sausage.

    May be a dumb question but do you precook the bacon?

      Hi Shel! The bacon is canadian style which is like ham. So no need to precook. Thanks!

    English muffins vary in thickness and circumference, depending upon vendor or kitchen. It would be helpful to include the exact cup measurement that your six cubed EMs makes.

    Could you substitute smoked salmon for the ham?
    Even by putting it on at the very end so the casserole warms it up?

      Hi Catherine – I am the worst person to ask. I don’t like smoked anything so it doesn’t sound very good to me. I think it might be a bit oily too? You could leave the ham off and serve a few slices of salmon on the side – that might work?

    Do you have to use whole milk?

      2 percent should work fine. You are making a custard to pour over so whole milk would be the best but the eggs will thicken up with 2 percent as well. A little trick I use when I don’t have whole milk is to add about a half cup of half and half to reduced fat milk to kick it up

    I made this for Easter and plan to make it tonight for 4th of July morning. My husband insisted I toast the english muffins before and I guess that worked, otherwise followed directions exactly and used one Knorr packet. Delicious!

    Thanks for the great recipe!

      Hi Jayme!
      Funny you would mention the toasted english muffins. The original recipe required them but I got lazy (big surprise) the second time I made this and didn’t toast them. Couldn’t tell the difference so I took the low road 🙂 Your hubby is right on! Glad you like the recipe and the packaged Hollandaise! Its surprisingly good!

    I am an eggs benny fanatic and found this recipe on TOH a few years ago. I’ve made it numerous times since and it’s always a hit. I always use regular bacon but sprinkle it on top just before baking so it stays crispy. Please don’t recommend the packet Hollandaise!! This recipe for it is AMAZING!! And surprisingly easy!! I’ve doubled and even tripled it for a larger crowd and it always turns out well!

      Hi Jackie – I have to recommend the packaged Hollandaise but only Knorr brand. -I kinda love it. I’ve been whisking it up for years in a pinch. If you add a glob of cream cheese and a big squeeze of lemon it is really good. Especially for those who are scared of making their own. I love your idea of regular bacon!
      Thanks for the note!

        I only use Knorr brand for my hollandaise sauce. I’m a “scratch” cook normally, this is the only place I cheat. I’ve never had a better hollandaise sauce. I’ve made several versions and none compare.
        Glad to see I’m not the only one that recognizes it’s greatness, haha
        Thanks for sharing this recipe…I was looking for a good cheat for our usual Christmas Eggs Benny
        P.S. I always add lemon, but cream cheese is a new idea. I’ll try it on Christmas morning

      Hi Patty – I have never frozen it but my best recommendation would be no. It’s an egg custard so I see mushiness if it’s frozen.
      THanks!

    This was delicious and so easy. The only change I would make next time is to add spinach and mushrooms.
