Easy Eggs Benedict Casserole
Introduction
If you’ve ever wished you could enjoy classic eggs Benedict flavors without the hassle of poaching eggs and juggling runny hollandaise, this Easy Eggs Benedict Casserole is your answer. It’s the perfect make-ahead brunch dish for a family gathering, holiday breakfast, or anytime you want to serve something special with minimal fuss and maximal flavor.
Why This Eggs Benedict Casserole Is a Crowd-Pleaser
This casserole transforms the signature elements of eggs Benedict—English muffins, ham, perfectly cooked eggs, and creamy hollandaise—into a layered bake that’s easy to assemble ahead and incredibly satisfying. The toasty muffins soak up a flavorful egg custard, while peppered ham adds savory depth, and a drizzle of quick hollandaise brings tangy richness in every bite. Plus, it’s easy to scale for groups!
Layering Your Eggs Benedict Casserole
Start by dicing English muffins and ham using the ultra-handy Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to get even, bite-sized pieces. Layer them in a lightly greased casserole dish. Pour over a seasoned egg-and-milk mixture, ensuring everything is soaked and ready to bake to a golden, fluffy finish.
For best flavor and texture, assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate. This allows all the ingredients to marry, ensuring every bite bursts with classic eggs Benedict taste.
Making No-Fuss Hollandaise Sauce
Forget about whisking over a double boiler. You can quickly blitz up a perfectly smooth hollandaise with the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender. Just add your egg yolks, lemon juice, a touch of Dijon, and hot melted butter, then blend until silky and thick. Drizzle generously over individual casserole servings right before serving.
Serving and Storing Your Casserole
Line your baking dish with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easier cleanup and easy casserole lifting. Serve slices warm, garnished with fresh chives, and maybe a side of fruit salad for a full brunch spread. If you have leftovers, portion into Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers—they reheat beautifully for a quick breakfast treat later in the week.
