What You’ll Need

Gather these items for your Eggs Benedict Casserole:

2 cups milk
8 large eggs
3 stalks green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
¾ pound Canadian bacon, diced
6 English muffins, diced
½ teaspoon ground paprika
1 0.9 oz package hollandaise sauce mix
¼ cup butter

Feel free to substitute ham or turkey bacon for the Canadian bacon, and use whole wheat or gluten-free English muffins if desired!

Directions to Follow

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, green onions, onion powder, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Layer half of the diced Canadian bacon at the bottom of the greased dish. Next, add the diced English muffins, and then sprinkle the remaining bacon on top.
Evenly pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients, ensuring everything is well-coated.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to let the flavors meld together.
When ready to bake, sprinkle paprika over the top and loosely cover the casserole with foil.
Bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, until the top is puffed and golden brown.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Once your casserole is baked to perfection, it’s ready to serve! Pair it with fresh fruit, a side salad, or crispy hash browns for a complete brunch spread. For drinks, consider mimosas or freshly brewed coffee—both are sure to elevate your meal!

How to Store and Reheat

To ensure your leftover Eggs Benedict Casserole stays fresh, cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the entire casserole in the oven at 350°F (175°C). Just make sure it’s heated thoroughly before serving.

Helpful Cooking Tips

To make the preparation even easier, consider using pre-cooked Canadian bacon.
If you like a bit of spice, add chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the egg mixture for an extra kick.
Letting the casserole rest overnight is key—it enhances the flavors and ensures a more custardy texture.

Recipe Variations

Get creative with your Eggs Benedict Casserole! You might try swapping the Canadian bacon for spinach and feta for a veggie version. Or, go for a southwest flair by including black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes, topped with avocado after baking.
