Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 68 English muffins, toasted and halved
  • 8 ounces Canadian bacon or thinly sliced ham

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • Salt, to taste (approximately 1 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper, to taste (approximately ½ teaspoon)

Topping

  • 1 cup hollandaise sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • Fresh herbs (chives or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Layer Muffins and Bacon: Arrange half of the toasted English muffin halves evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Then layer the Canadian bacon slices evenly over the muffins to create the savory base.
  3. Mix and Pour Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Pour this egg mixture evenly over the muffin and bacon layers in the dish.
  4. Add Hollandaise Sauce: Drizzle the hollandaise sauce evenly over the top of the egg mixture to add a rich, creamy flavor that defines this dish.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the top is gently golden.
  6. Rest and Garnish: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor, then serve warm.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute the whole milk with 2% or skim milk and use a lighter hollandaise sauce if desired.
  • You can prepare this casserole the night before by assembling it and refrigerating it, then baking it fresh in the morning.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • Vegetarian option: omit Canadian bacon and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach instead.
  • Homemade hollandaise sauce enhances flavor but store-bought is a convenient shortcut.
