How To Make the Eggs Benedict Casserole

Step 1: Prepare the baking dish

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish well so the casserole releases easily after baking. This also helps the edges brown without sticking.

Step 2: Layer the English muffins and Canadian bacon

Scatter half of the English muffin pieces into the dish, then add half of the chopped Canadian bacon. Repeat with the remaining muffin pieces and bacon so the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Mix the egg custard

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and chopped chives until fully combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the layered muffins and bacon.

Step 4: Chill for the best texture

Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This resting time allows the English muffins to absorb the egg mixture, giving the casserole a soft center and nicely structured slices.

Step 5: Bake until set and golden

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator while the oven heats. Bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top looks lightly golden.

Step 6: Make the sauce finish

Prepare the hollandaise sauce mix according to the package directions. Stir in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and melted butter for a richer flavor that tastes closer to classic Eggs Benedict.

Step 7: Serve warm

Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. Spoon the warm sauce over the top and finish with extra chopped chives before serving.

Serving and Storing Eggs Benedict Casserole

Eggs Benedict Casserole is best served warm, straight from the baking dish, with the sauce added just before serving. A side of fresh fruit, roasted potatoes, or a light green salad balances the richness nicely. If you are serving brunch for guests, you can place the sauce on the table so everyone can add as much as they like.

For storage, let the casserole cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm larger portions in the oven, covered, until heated through. Store the sauce separately when possible so the texture stays smooth. Freezing is possible, though the texture of the egg base is usually best when enjoyed fresh or within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Eggs Benedict Casserole the night before?

Yes, and it is actually one of the best ways to prepare it. Overnight chilling helps the English muffins absorb the custard and gives the casserole a more even texture after baking.

Can I use ham instead of Canadian bacon?

Yes. Diced ham works very well and gives a similar savory flavor. Choose a ham that is not overly wet so the casserole does not become soggy.

Do I have to use packaged hollandaise sauce?

No. You can use homemade hollandaise if you prefer. The packaged version simply makes this recipe easier and more practical for a busy morning.

How do I know when the casserole is done?

The center should look set, not liquid, and a knife inserted near the middle should come out mostly clean. The top should also be lightly golden.

Can I add cheese to this casserole?

You can, although traditional Eggs Benedict does not include cheese. A small amount of shredded Swiss or mozzarella can add extra richness if that is your style.

What should I serve with it?

Fresh fruit, breakfast potatoes, sautéed asparagus, or a simple salad all pair well with the rich, creamy flavor of this casserole.
