Ingredients You’ll Need

The beauty of this recipe is in its simplicity—each ingredient has a purpose, and together, they create the warm, crave-worthy flavor of Eggs Benedict Casserole. Here’s what you need and why each is key to making it so delicious:

Milk: Adds creaminess and helps the casserole set into a custardy, tender bake.
Large eggs: The star of any classic brunch casserole—these bring structure and that beloved eggy goodness.
Green onions, chopped: Freshness and a subtle bite that keeps each forkful interesting.
Onion powder: Rounds out savory flavors and boosts depth in the egg custard.
Salt: Essential for seasoning the entire casserole and balancing flavors.
Canadian bacon, diced: Salty, smoky, and the traditional Benedict choice—try lean ham for a lighter option!
English muffins, diced: Their signature, nubby texture soaks up the custard and delivers that classic “Benedict” flavor.
Paprika: A finishing sprinkle brings gorgeous color and the gentlest of kicks.
Milk (for sauce): The base of your silky hollandaise topping.
Hollandaise sauce mix: All the luxurious, lemony flavor—without the fuss.
Butter: The secret to making the sauce irresistibly rich and satiny.

How to Make Eggs Benedict Casserole

Step 1: Prep Your Casserole Dish

Start by greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish. This keeps anything from sticking and helps with serving later. I prefer to use a little butter for extra flavor, but a quick mist of nonstick spray works perfectly, too.

Step 2: Make the Egg Custard

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, green onions, onion powder, and salt until thoroughly combined. This mixture will become the rich, fluffy base for every bite of your Eggs Benedict Casserole.

Step 3: Layer the Casserole

Scatter half the diced Canadian bacon over the bottom of your prepared dish, then add all the diced English muffins. Finish with the remaining bacon. Pour the egg custard evenly over the top, making sure every muffin piece is soaked—this ensures your casserole bakes up tender and flavor-packed.

Step 4: Let It Chill

Cover the casserole tightly and chill it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours. This step lets the English muffins really soak up the custard, making for the ultimate tender texture and ensuring everything bakes evenly.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the casserole covered for 30 minutes, then uncover it and bake for an additional 15 minutes. The top should turn golden and puffed, and a knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

Step 6: Make the Hollandaise Sauce

While the casserole is finishing up in the oven, prepare your hollandaise sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, hollandaise sauce mix, and butter. Simmer gently, whisking often, until the sauce thickens to a lush, pourable consistency.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Slice your casserole into generous squares and drizzle each piece with the warm hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with paprika and maybe a few extra green onions, and serve straight from the pan while it’s hot. That first forkful? Pure magic.

How to Serve Eggs Benedict Casserole

Garnishes

A flourish of paprika is non-negotiable for color and a little smokiness. Scatter a handful of chopped green onions or chives for a burst of herbal freshness, and—if you’re feeling decadent—maybe even add a few thin slices of ripe tomato or avocado for a pop of color and creaminess.

Side Dishes

Eggs Benedict Casserole shines with simple sides. I love to serve it with a crisp green salad tossed in a zesty vinaigrette or a bowl of bright, fresh berries. Roasted potatoes or a fruit salad also complement its savory, creamy richness beautifully.

Creative Ways to Present

Cut the casserole into rounds with a biscuit cutter for an individual, brunch-party look, or plate each portion atop toasted asparagus for a more gourmet feel. Serve sauce in a small pitcher on the side so everyone can drizzle to their heart’s content.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover Eggs Benedict Casserole tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. The flavors meld as it sits, making the leftovers just as delicious (if not more so!) the next morning.

Freezing

You can absolutely freeze this dish! Once baked and cooled, wrap portions tightly and freeze for up to two months. For best results, keep the hollandaise sauce separate and make it fresh when ready to serve.

Reheating

Warm leftover casserole gently in a 350°F oven, covered with foil, until heated through. If you’re in a hurry, microwave individual slices on medium power. Whisk up a quick batch of sauce or use what’s leftover to keep everything luscious.

FAQs

Can I use regular bacon or ham instead of Canadian bacon?

Absolutely! Traditional Canadian bacon gives Eggs Benedict Casserole its signature flavor, but diced ham or crisp-cooked bacon work beautifully. Each brings its own texture and taste—just adjust the salt to taste.

How far in advance can I assemble the casserole?

You can assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance. Prepping it the night before not only saves time, but also allows the flavors to meld for an even tastier bake.

Can I make this without the sauce packet?

Yes! If you prefer homemade hollandaise, use your favorite from-scratch recipe. The sauce mix is a time-saver, but fresh lemony hollandaise is always a treat for homemade brunches.

Is this dish kid-friendly?

Kids adore the mild, creamy flavors and soft texture of Eggs Benedict Casserole, especially when served with extra hollandaise. You can even adjust or leave out the green onions if your little ones prefer things plainer.

What’s the best way to get perfect slices?

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing so it holds its shape. A sharp knife or even a metal spatula will give you tidy, impressive portions perfect for plating.
