How to Assemble Your Eggs Benedict Casserole
Layering is key for this dish. Arrange chopped English muffins and Canadian bacon in prepared bakeware, pour over the rich egg mixture, and let the casserole sit overnight (or at least 30 minutes) for the best texture and flavor. Before baking, get your oven mitts ready and preheat for an even cook. After baking, the casserole is topped with a quick stovetop Hollandaise—lusciously creamy and lemony for that authentic eggs Benedict finish.
Serving, Storing, and Brunch Upgrade Tips
Serve your casserole hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley. It pairs beautifully with a crisp, fresh salad—packed with greens in a Bentgo Salad Container for easy portioning if serving buffet-style. Got leftovers? They keep well stored in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, making weekday breakfasts a treat.
For a festive brunch spread, lay out a Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack for fuss-free cleanup, and keep a KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set on hand when transferring your piping hot casserole.
