Ingredients
Scale
- For the Casserole:
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 package (12 oz) English muffins, split and toasted
- 1 cup cooked Canadian bacon, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- For the Hollandaise Sauce:
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Salt and cayenne pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
- Layer the toasted English muffins in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, followed by the diced Canadian bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients, ensuring everything is soaked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden on top.
- While the casserole is baking, prepare the hollandaise sauce by whisking the egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until thickened.
- Gradually whisk in the melted butter until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
- Once the casserole is done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving with a drizzle of hollandaise sauce on top.
Notes
- This casserole can be assembled the night before and stored in the refrigerator. Just add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute Canadian bacon with sautéed spinach or mushrooms.
