Eggs Benedict Casserole Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. + chilling Bake: 45 min.
  • Yield: 12 Servings
25 45 70

Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound Canadian bacon, chopped
  • 6 English muffins, split and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • SAUCE:
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions

  • Place half of the bacon in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; top with English muffins and remaining bacon. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and onion powder; pour over the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and bake at 375° for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • In a double boiler or metal bowl over simmering water, constantly whisk the egg yolks, cream, lemon juice and mustard until mixture reaches 160° or is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Reduce heat to low. Slowly drizzle in warm melted butter, whisking constantly. Serve immediately with casserole. Yield: 12 servings (1-2/3 cups sauce).

I ran across a trick for the hollaindaise sauce - when you are pouring in the melted butter in the last step of the recipe, leave the milk solids behind and do not add them to the sauce. That helps it stay nice and smooth. The sauce was so amazing. This recipe was a huge hit - my mother in law took my print out of the recipe with her when she left our Mother's Day brunch!

Could not have been easier to make. I saw several people say they used a packaged sauce, but I've used those before and this sauce was just as easy to make from scratch and tastes way better!

Easy and amazing taste! I made for Easter brunch and the leftovers were even better.

I made this for my family and it was an instant hit. It's definitely a keeper!

This was sooo good! Made if for breakfast for some house guests and it was gone! I would make 1 1/2 times the hollandaise next time.

We fixed this Christmas Eve for breakfast on Christmas morning. Everyone loved it! I halved the recipe and used skim milk with about 1/4 cup of leftover cream from another recipe.

To avoid other readers issues, I broiled the muffins before cutting and added salt and pepper to eggs and the sauce. Lots of requests! Very good!

This was so good. My kids loved it and asked for it again for lunch. The sauce is a little more tangy than I would like, but maybe it is just the types of mustard I used.

Any idea's on how to make this a little lower in fat content? Has anyone tried making this with egg substitute? And could anything else be used other than the heavy whipping cream? I'd love to try this, but 19 grams of fat is simply too much. And sorry for the rating, but couldn't post a comment without doing something LOL!!!!

I loved this casserole. I made it for Easter breakfast at church and everyone else loved it too. I added some garlic powder, salt, and more smoked paprika to the egg mixture, but other than that, didn't change anything. Since it was being served at a buffet, I just poured the Hollandaise sauce over the top of the entire casserole. I will definitely be making this again.

Took this to a brunch with fussy people and they all loved it. The only changes I made were that I used a good quality ham, and made my own whole wheat english muffins.

I already plan to take it to my next brunch and definitely will serve it Christmas morning instead of my usual "wife saver" casserole

I made this on Christmas morning. It was a huge hit! My kids loved it, and I loved not having to slave in the kitchen that morning! I used packaged hollendaise, and it was just fine. I will definately be making this again.

This casserole is fantastic! Everyone I serve

it to loves it, and asks for the recipe. Thank you!!

I found this too much trouble for the end result. I was surprised how pale the dish was considering all the eggs used. The sauce was good, but the casserole itself a little tasteless. It would be just as easy to make real eggs benedict with this same sauce.

This casserole has been a hit every time I make it. It is easy to prepare...I make it even easier by using a packaged Hollandaise sauce to serve with the casserole. It is tasty and easy to serve as well.

I really liked this. Hubby still prefers traditional Eggs Benedict. I did cheat and made a mock Hollandaise because it was easier.

I served this today at a Welcome Coffee I attended. Wonderful recipe. I think I might add a little more onion powder and some white pepper when I make it next (and I will be making it again and again). Thank you Sadie for a wonderful addition to my collection of overnight breakfast casserole recipes.

I will definitely try this but I wonder if it could be halved so just my husband & I could enjoy it too.

It was great! We served this for Good Friday brunch to a group of twelve. Good thing we made 2!

My family enjoyed this recipe. I didn't have canadian bacon on hand so I ended up using regular bacon- which worked out just fine. The sauce on top was perfect- so, so yummy!
