Eggs Benedict Casserole – A Brunch Favorite, Made Easy
Introduction
Eggs Benedict Casserole captures everything people love about classic Eggs Benedict but transforms it into an unbelievably easy, hands-off dish perfect for feeding a crowd. This flavorful, comforting bake delivers all the signature flavors—savory ham, fluffy eggs, and creamy hollandaise—without the stress of timing poached eggs or assembling individual servings.
With simple seasoning and just a few steps, this casserole makes hosting brunch or a holiday breakfast a breeze, all while impressing your guests with its elegant presentation and classic taste.
The Unique Appeal of Eggs Benedict Casserole
What sets this dish apart is its unbeatable blend of savory and creamy in every bite. Toasted English muffins soak up a custardy egg mixture, topped with chopped ham and a light, tangy hollandaise sauce. It’s built to feed a crowd, yet easy enough for a lazy family weekend.
Unlike traditional Eggs Benedict, this casserole frees you of last-minute scrambling and finicky egg poaching. Comfort, convenience, and bold brunch flavor—all in one pan!
Easy Prep for a Stress-Free Brunch
Start by chopping ham and English muffins into bite-sized pieces. Save time and get uniform cuts by using a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. This tool makes prep work for casseroles and breakfast bakes quick and nearly effortless.
Layer the muffin and ham pieces into a well-greased baking dish before pouring over an easy, rich egg and milk custard. Letting it sit overnight (or at least a few hours) not only enhances the flavor but also transforms the texture.
The Easiest Hollandaise (and Baking Tips)
Don’t be intimidated by hollandaise sauce! A blender or immersion blender simplifies the process. The Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender gives you silky, lump-free hollandaise in seconds—just whirl together butter, egg yolks, and lemon juice as the casserole bakes.
For perfectly even baking and hassle-free cleanup, line your casserole dish with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll. It prevents sticking and makes serving slices easy.
Serving Suggestions & Creative Twists
Serve slices hot and drizzle with hollandaise just before bringing to the table. Garnish with chives or fresh parsley for color and fresh flavor. Transport leftovers or on-the-go portions in a Bentgo Salad Container—the secure seal keeps your casserole fresh whether at work or on a picnic.
For variation, swap the ham with smoked salmon, add a layer of sautéed spinach, or toss in a handful of shredded cheese for extra richness.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for effortless serving and cleanup.
- Spread English muffin cubes and diced ham evenly in the baking dish. For easy dicing, use a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour this custard evenly over the muffin and ham mixture in the dish. Sprinkle with chives.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 2 hours, to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Uncover casserole and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until puffed, golden, and set in the center.
- While the casserole bakes, make an easy hollandaise: Add egg yolks and lemon juice to your Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender. Blend for 20 seconds, then slowly stream in the hot melted butter while blending until the sauce thickens and turns pale yellow. Season with salt and cayenne.
- Slice the hot casserole and serve each portion drizzled with warm hollandaise. Transport extra portions in a Bentgo Salad Container for quick, tidy lunches.
