Ingredients You’ll Need

With just a handful of simple ingredients, you can create a showstopping Eggs Benedict Casserole. Each component is carefully chosen to echo the signature taste, silky texture, and signature color that makes this brunch classic so special.

Milk (2 cups, plus 1 cup for the sauce): Adds creamy richness to the egg mixture and hollandaise sauce for that unmistakable brunchy comfort.
Large eggs (8): Essential for that custardy, fluffy base—use the freshest eggs for best results.
Green onions (3 stalks, chopped): These add a gentle oniony brightness and a burst of color to every delicious bite.
Onion powder (1 tsp): Boosts the savory depth without overpowering the delicate eggs.
Salt (1 tsp): Balances and enhances all the other flavors in the dish.
Canadian bacon (¾ lb, diced): Infuses the casserole with savory, smoky character—choose a thickly sliced cut for hearty bites.
English muffins (6, diced): Their signature tangy chew forms the perfect base and soaks up all that eggy goodness.
Paprika (½ tsp): A sprinkle on top gives a gorgeous pop of color and a whisper of warmth.
Hollandaise sauce mix (1 packet, 0.9 oz): The fastest route to decadent, lemony hollandaise without the stress of making it from scratch.
Butter (¼ cup, for the sauce): Makes the hollandaise irresistibly velvety and rich.

How to Make Eggs Benedict Casserole

Step 1: Prep Your Baking Dish

Start by generously greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish. This not only prevents sticking, but also helps with easy serving later—nobody wants to struggle with getting out that first slice of Eggs Benedict Casserole!

Step 2: Mix the Egg Base

Whisk together 2 cups of milk, all 8 eggs, chopped green onions, onion powder, and salt in a large bowl. Take a moment here—make sure everything is well-blended, as this mixture forms the lush, custardy foundation for your casserole.

Step 3: Build Those Awesome Layers

Scatter half the diced Canadian bacon in the greased dish, then spread the diced English muffins evenly over it. Top with the remaining Canadian bacon. Now gently pour the egg mixture over everything, ensuring even coverage so all the muffins soak up that flavorful custard. Sprinkle that beautiful paprika over the top for color.

Step 4: Chill Overnight

Cover the casserole and let it chill overnight in your fridge. This crucial step gives everything time to mingle and allows the English muffins to absorb the egg mixture, ensuring a soft, uniform consistency when baked. If you’re short on time, a minimum of 4 hours works—but overnight is best for flavor and texture.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake your Eggs Benedict Casserole at 375°F. Cover for the first 30 minutes to lock in moisture, then uncover for another 15 minutes to let the top develop a gentle golden crust. You’ll know it’s ready when the center is set, and the edges are lightly puffed and browned.

Step 6: Whip Up the Hollandaise

While the casserole bakes, make the Hollandaise sauce. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup milk, the packet of sauce mix, and ¼ cup butter. Whisk and simmer until thickened. It should be silky smooth and ready to drizzle. Doing this fresh before serving guarantees the best flavor and texture.

Step 7: Slice, Sauce, and Serve

Once the casserole is cool enough to handle, slice it into generous squares and arrange them on plates. Drizzle each piece with plenty of warm Hollandaise. Serve immediately while everything is steaming and at its most irresistible.

How to Serve Eggs Benedict Casserole

Garnishes

As with any showstopping brunch dish, presentation matters! A scattering of extra sliced green onions or chives on top adds both a bright pop of color and fresh flavor. For an elegant twist, a tiny pinch of extra paprika or a little lemon zest can really take things over the top.

Side Dishes

Eggs Benedict Casserole is definitely the star, but it loves good company. Try serving it with a crisp, lightly dressed salad of baby greens to cut the richness, or some fresh seasonal fruit for a palate-cleansing contrast. Crispy hash browns or roasted asparagus also pair perfectly, turning brunch into a feast.

Creative Ways to Present

If you’re hosting a special brunch, slice the casserole into bite-sized squares for a chic finger-food display on a big platter. You can also pop each serving into a ramekin for an individual, restaurant-style touch, or even build a brunch board featuring Eggs Benedict Casserole front and center surrounded by fruits, breads, and spreads.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Once your casserole has cooled, transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep for up to 3 days and still taste amazing warmed up for breakfast, lunch, or a late-night snack.

Freezing

Eggs Benedict Casserole freezes surprisingly well. Slice them into portions, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then pop in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating for the best texture and flavor.

Reheating

For best results, reheat slices in a 350°F oven, covered with foil, for about 15–20 minutes or until heated through. A quick zap in the microwave works in a pinch—just use a lower setting and cover to prevent the eggs from drying out.

FAQs

Can I use regular bacon instead of Canadian bacon?

Absolutely! Regular bacon adds great flavor, though it will be richer and less lean. Just cook and drain it well before layering into the casserole, as too much fat can make the dish greasy.

Can I make Eggs Benedict Casserole gluten-free?

Of course! Substitute your favorite gluten-free English muffins, and double-check that your hollandaise sauce mix is certified gluten-free. You won’t miss out on any of the brunch magic.

What if I don’t have hollandaise sauce mix?

You can make a basic homemade hollandaise by whisking together butter, egg yolks, and lemon juice over very low heat. Or, find refrigerated hollandaise at many grocery stores that works beautifully for this casserole.

How can I tell when the casserole is baked through?

Look for a center that’s set (no wobble when you shake the pan!) and edges that are golden brown. A knife inserted in the middle should come out clean. If you’re unsure, it’s fine to give it a few extra minutes covered in the oven.

Can I assemble Eggs Benedict Casserole the same day?

Yes, if you’re short on time, you can let the assembled casserole soak for at least 4 hours in the fridge before baking. However, overnight chilling ensures the best texture and lets all the flavors meld beautifully.

Final Thoughts

If you’re longing for an effortless way to serve a classic favorite, Eggs Benedict Casserole truly delivers. It’s packed with all the brunchy goodness you crave, easy enough for busy mornings, and impressive enough for any gathering. Give it a go next time you want to treat yourself (and your loved ones) to the best breakfast ever—you’re going to fall in love!
