Eggs Benedict Casserole – A Brunch Favorite, Made Easy

Introduction

Brunch is all about comfort, indulgence, and bringing people together. This Eggs Benedict Casserole takes the classic flavors of the beloved brunch staple—English muffins, savory Canadian bacon, poached eggs, and velvety hollandaise sauce—and transforms them into an effortlessly crowd-pleasing bake. It makes serving a group simple, letting you enjoy more time with your guests and less fuss in the kitchen.

Why Make Eggs Benedict Casserole?

What sets this Eggs Benedict Casserole apart is its winning combination of “wow” flavor and make-ahead convenience. You get all the elements of eggs benedict in a warm, bubbling dish that’s ideal for showers, family brunches, or holiday mornings. Unlike the original, there’s no need to time poached eggs perfectly, and the hands-off baking eliminates last-minute stress.

Crafting the Caserole Base

Start with high-quality English muffins and thick-cut Canadian bacon. Tear or cube the muffins and layer with the bacon in a buttered baking dish. If you want precise, uniform cubes for the muffins or bacon, a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper can make quick work of prep—perfect for large batches or doubling the recipe.

Next, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, and seasonings. This egg custard will soak the bread overnight, ensuring the final bake is tender and packed with flavor.

Perfectly Baked Eggs Every Time

For the casserole to set evenly, use a skillet that heats consistently. A SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch is great for prepping your Canadian bacon, and when you’re ready to bake, lining your dish with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll makes cleanup completely hassle-free.

Once assembled, the casserole bakes until the top is golden and the custard is just set. Meanwhile, whip up a quick homemade hollandaise.

Easy Homemade Hollandaise

A blender makes hollandaise almost foolproof. Quickly emulsify egg yolks, lemon juice, and melted butter in a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender for a sauce that’s silky and rich. Drizzle generously over your casserole just before serving.

Serving Suggestions for a Standout Brunch

Let the casserole rest briefly before slicing; this allows for neater portions. Serve it alongside a crisp salad (packed to-go in the Bentgo Salad Container for meal prep), and fresh fruit for a complete brunch. To keep things festive, set your table with a disposable cloth, such as the Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack, for stress-free clean-up after the party.
