Make the classic brunch dish simple with this easy Eggs Benedict Casserole recipe. You can prepare this bake the night before, saving time for your busy mornings or brunch gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 English muffins, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound Canadian bacon or ham, chopped
  • 12 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup Hollandaise sauce (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange half of the English muffin cubes in an even layer on the bottom of the dish.
  2. Scatter the chopped Canadian bacon evenly over the muffins. Top with the remaining muffin cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined. This creates your custard base.
  4. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the muffins and bacon in the baking dish, pressing down gently to ensure the bread soaks up the liquid.
  5. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the plastic wrap.
  7. Sprinkle the Swiss cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Top each serving with a spoonful of Hollandaise sauce before serving.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, assemble the entire casserole, including the cheese, but do not bake. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • You can substitute Canadian bacon with cooked ham or turkey bacon.
  • Use a simple, store-bought Hollandaise sauce to save time, or prepare a quick homemade version.
