Ingredients
Scale
- 10 large eggs
- 4 cups cubed English muffins (about 4 – 5 muffins)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 oz chopped Canadian bacon
- 1 cup unsalted butter (for hollandaise sauce)
- Juice of 1 lemon (for hollandaise sauce)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a deep baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add cubed English muffins, Canadian bacon, and cheddar cheese; mix gently until combined.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- For the hollandaise sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- In another bowl, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice until thickened; gradually whisk in melted butter until smooth.
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing.
- Drizzle each serving with hollandaise sauce.
Notes
- For perfectly poached eggs, add a splash of vinegar to the simmering water.
- Avoid overbaking; keep an eye on your casserole to ensure it stays moist and fluffy.
- Let it sit for a few minutes after baking for easier slicing.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
- To reheat, pop it back in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
- Feel free to swap out ingredients based on what’s in your fridge. Try smoked salmon instead of ham or add spinach.
- Different cheeses like gouda or feta can also make delightful variations.
