Ingredients You’ll Need

The beauty of Eggs Benedict Casserole is in its simplicity—every ingredient brings its own unique twist, blending effortlessly to create that signature richness and inviting texture. Don’t be tempted to swap or skip; each element really does make a difference!

Milk: Acts as the base in both the casserole and the Hollandaise, lending creaminess and body to the final dish.
Large eggs: The star of the show—use fresh, quality eggs for an ultra-rich, custardy bite every time.
Green onions: Add a subtle crunch and pop of color, plus a mild, springy onion flavor that brightens every bite.
Onion powder: This simple spice deepens the savory backbone of the casserole, rounding out the egg mixture.
Salt: Essential for waking up all the flavors—don’t skimp, but adjust to taste if your Canadian bacon is extra salty.
Canadian bacon: Classic for Eggs Benedict! It brings a smoky, meaty heartiness without being greasy.
English muffins: Their nooks and crannies soak up the eggs, creating a fluffy, crisp-topped bite just like traditional Benedict.
Paprika: Sprinkled over the top, it adds color and just a whisper of subtle warmth.
Hollandaise sauce mix packet: The shortcut to instant brunch happiness—velvety, tangy, and simple, especially when time is tight.
Butter: For a glossy, restaurant-quality Hollandaise finish (and undeniable flavor!).

How to Make Eggs Benedict Casserole

Step 1: Prep Your Baking Dish

Begin by greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish—this step is crucial for easy serving later and helps prevent any golden bits of casserole from sticking. Use a neutral oil spray or a little softened butter for extra flavor.

Step 2: Whisk Together the Egg Mixture

In a big mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together 2 cups milk, the 8 large eggs, chopped green onions, onion powder, and salt. This mixture will soak into the English muffins, creating that irresistible, custardy interior you want in your Eggs Benedict Casserole.

Step 3: Layer Canadian Bacon and English Muffins

Scatter half your diced Canadian bacon evenly over the bottom of the baking dish. Next, tumble in all your diced English muffins, making sure they’re distributed in a fluffy, even layer. Sprinkle the remaining bacon over the top, creating a perfectly even, meaty sandwich of flavor.

Step 4: Pour and Soak

Carefully pour the egg mixture right over your layered muffins and bacon. The goal is to wet every morsel, ensuring each square of casserole bakes up tender and flavorful. Gently press the muffins down with the back of a spoon if they’re floating.

Step 5: Chill Overnight

This is the secret step—cover the dish tightly and let it chill in the fridge overnight. The rest time allows the muffins to absorb the eggs and milk, so the casserole bakes up extra silky (plus, it makes your morning a breeze).

Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F. Leave the casserole covered and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the cover, sprinkle with paprika, and bake for another 15 minutes until puffed and lightly golden on top. The aroma is guaranteed to draw everyone into the kitchen!

Step 7: Cook the Hollandaise Sauce

While the casserole is finishing in the oven, prepare the Hollandaise. In a saucepan, whisk together 1 cup milk, the Hollandaise mix packet, and 1/4 cup butter. Gently simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened and luscious. This is the rich ribbon that ties the dish together.

Step 8: Slice, Drizzle, and Serve

Cut the hot casserole into generous portions. Place each slice on a plate, then ladle over a dreamy stream of Hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately and watch faces light up!

How to Serve Eggs Benedict Casserole

Garnishes

For that signature brunch beauty, sprinkle on a little extra paprika, finely chopped fresh parsley, or a scatter of additional green onions. A few microgreens or even chives give a bright touch and make everything pop on the plate.

Side Dishes

Eggs Benedict Casserole is blissfully rich, so pair it with lighter fare—think tangy fruit salad, crisp roasted asparagus, or even a simple mixed greens salad tossed with lemon vinaigrette. Some roasted breakfast potatoes would also round out a truly indulgent brunch.

Creative Ways to Present

If you want to get playful, bake the casserole in individual ramekins for personal servings, or add a tray of sliced avocados and baby tomatoes on the side for DIY toppers. For holiday gatherings, serve family-style with a carafe of fresh orange juice or mimosas nearby.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Once your Eggs Benedict Casserole has fully cooled, cover the dish (or transfer slices to an airtight container) and refrigerate for up to three days. The flavors meld beautifully, and the dish stays just as delicious for quick breakfasts or lunch leftovers. Keep the sauce separate and covered in the fridge.

Freezing

You can freeze baked portions of Eggs Benedict Casserole (without the Hollandaise) for up to 2 months. Wrap pieces tightly or store in freezer containers, then thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy a special brunch on your busiest days!

Reheating

To enjoy again, reheat slices of casserole in a 350°F oven (uncovered) for about 15 minutes, or microwave for 60–90 seconds until hot. Warm up the Hollandaise sauce gently in a saucepan over low heat, whisking constantly, or use short microwave bursts, stirring between intervals to keep it smooth and creamy.

FAQs

Can I assemble Eggs Benedict Casserole the morning of instead of overnight?

You can, but for best texture, let it sit at least one hour (ideally overnight). The resting time lets the English muffins absorb the egg mixture, creating that custardy, bready texture you want. A quicker soak works in a pinch, but some pieces might be drier.

What should I do if my Hollandaise sauce curdles or gets too thick?

Don’t panic! Whisk in a splash of hot water or extra milk, a little at a time, to thin the sauce and make it silky again. Do this over low heat, whisking vigorously, and your sauce should smooth right out.

Can I substitute regular bacon or ham for the Canadian bacon?

Absolutely! Thick-cut ham or cooked, crumbled bacon work well. Just aim for a similar quantity and make sure it’s cooked and patted dry if using bacon, so the casserole doesn’t become greasy.

Is there a homemade Hollandaise sauce option?

Yes, if you want to skip the packet, whip up your own: blend together 3 egg yolks, a tablespoon of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and slowly drizzle in melted butter while blending until thick. But for weekday ease, the sauce mix can’t be beat!

Can I make Eggs Benedict Casserole gluten-free?

Absolutely—just use your favorite gluten-free English muffins in place of regular ones. Keep in mind the texture may be slightly different, but the flavors and overall experience will still be wonderfully satisfying.

If you’re searching for a showstopping brunch that packs all the flavor and indulgence of the original Eggs Benedict—without the fuss of poaching eggs or keeping sauce hot—this Eggs Benedict Casserole is a must-try. Give it a whirl for your next family breakfast and see just how easy and festive brunch at home can be!
