Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced Canadian bacon
- 1 cup hollandaise sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Muffins: Evenly distribute the quartered English muffins at the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the base layer.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and whole milk until fully combined. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Layer Cheese and Bacon: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the arranged English muffins, then evenly scatter the diced Canadian bacon over the cheese.
- Combine and Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish, ensuring everything is well covered.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the casserole is set in the center and the top has a nice golden color.
- Add Hollandaise Sauce and Serve: Once baked, remove from oven and drizzle the warm hollandaise sauce over the top before serving to add the signature creamy richness of Eggs Benedict.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs and quality Canadian bacon for the best flavor.
- Homemade hollandaise sauce can elevate the dish, but store-bought is a convenient alternative.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with gruyère or Swiss cheese for a different twist.
- Make sure to season the egg mixture well to enhance the overall taste.
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving to let it set fully and to avoid burns.
