Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Layer Ingredients
- 8 English muffins, quartered
- 8 ounces Canadian bacon or ham
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Toppings
- 1 cup hollandaise sauce
- Chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and Dijon mustard until fully combined and smooth.
- Layer Ingredients: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange the quartered English muffins evenly on the bottom. Layer the Canadian bacon or ham over the muffins, then pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the top. Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese across the casserole.
- Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before drizzling with hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- For a make-ahead option, prepare the casserole the night before and refrigerate. When ready to bake, add 10-15 minutes to the total baking time if baking cold.
- The recipe is versatile—feel free to substitute or add vegetables such as spinach or mushrooms, or swap Canadian bacon for sausage or smoked salmon for variety.
- Using fresh hollandaise sauce will enhance the flavor, but store-bought sauce can be used for convenience.
