Ingredients

Scale

For the casserole:

  • 6 English muffins, cubed
  • 12 oz (340 g) Canadian bacon or ham, diced
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups (480 ml) milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

For the hollandaise sauce:

  • 3 large egg yolks
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the casserole:

  1. Layer the base:
    • Grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish. Spread half of the cubed English muffins in the dish. Sprinkle half of the diced Canadian bacon or ham over the muffins. Repeat with the remaining muffins and bacon.
  2. Make the egg mixture:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika. Pour the mixture evenly over the English muffin and bacon layers.
  3. Chill:
    • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  4. Bake the casserole:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the casserole from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
    • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.

Prepare the hollandaise sauce:

  1. Blend the sauce:
    • In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper. Blend for 10 seconds.
    • With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the melted butter until the sauce is thick and creamy.
  2. Serve:
    • Slice the casserole into portions and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Serve warm.

Notes

  • To save time, you can use a pre-made hollandaise sauce.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for garnish.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven.
