Ingredients Notes

The beauty of this casserole lies in its simple yet well-balanced ingredients. Each one plays a key role in achieving that signature Eggs Benedict flavor.

English Muffins form the base of the casserole, providing a sturdy yet soft texture that soaks up the egg mixture beautifully. Be sure to toast them lightly before assembling the dish to prevent sogginess.

Canadian Bacon adds the classic smoky-salty flavor. You can also swap it out for ham, turkey, or even crispy bacon bits if you prefer a different twist.

Eggs are the heart of this dish. Instead of poaching, we whisk them into a custard-like mixture that bakes up soft and fluffy, coating the muffins and bacon for a delicious bite every time.

Milk and Heavy Cream work together to create a rich, creamy custard. If you want a lighter option, you can use all milk, but the cream adds an indulgent texture that makes the casserole extra special.

Hollandaise Sauce is what takes this dish from tasty to extraordinary. You can make it from scratch using butter, egg yolks, and lemon juice, or opt for a quick, store-bought mix for convenience.

A 9x13 baking dish is ideal for this casserole, ensuring even baking and easy serving. Grease it well to prevent sticking.

How To Make This Easy Eggs Benedict Casserole

Making this casserole couldn’t be simpler! Here’s how to bring it all together.

Start by prepping your ingredients. Lightly toast your English muffins and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Dice or slice your Canadian bacon into small chunks. Grease your baking dish and spread the muffins and bacon evenly inside.

Next, whisk together the egg mixture. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, heavy cream, salt, and a pinch of pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the muffins and bacon, ensuring every piece gets coated for that delicious, custardy texture.

Cover the dish with foil and let it sit in the fridge overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and ensures a soft, fluffy bake. If you’re short on time, you can let it sit for at least 30 minutes before baking.

When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the casserole from the fridge and let it come to room temperature while the oven heats. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.

While the casserole bakes, prepare your hollandaise sauce. If making from scratch, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and melted butter over low heat until thick and creamy. Alternatively, follow the package instructions for a store-bought mix.

Once baked, let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle generously with hollandaise sauce, sprinkle with fresh chopped chives or parsley, and serve immediately!

Storage Options

This casserole is great for leftovers and can be stored easily.

For short-term storage, let the casserole cool completely before covering it tightly with plastic wrap or transferring it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.

To freeze, wrap individual portions in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

For reheating, warm slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes, adding hollandaise sauce after reheating.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this casserole is how easy it is to customize!

Want a healthier version? Swap heavy cream for all milk and use turkey bacon instead of Canadian bacon.

Make it vegetarian by replacing the meat with sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or roasted red peppers for a flavorful twist.

For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture, and top with a dash of hot sauce before serving.

If you’re a cheese lover, sprinkle shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese over the top before baking for an extra layer of flavor.

Try a bread swap by using croissants or French bread instead of English muffins for a different texture.

No matter how you tweak it, this Easy Eggs Benedict Casserole is sure to be a hit. It’s simple, satisfying, and the perfect way to enjoy a classic brunch favorite—without all the hassle. Give it a try this weekend and enjoy a stress-free, delicious start to your day!
