Ingredients
6 English muffins, cut into cubes
8 ounces Canadian bacon, chopped
8 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for greasing dish
1 cup hollandaise sauce, for serving
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives
1/8 teaspoon paprika, optional
Instructions
1. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with the butter.
2. Spread half of the English muffin cubes in the baking dish.
3. Scatter half of the chopped Canadian bacon over the bread.
4. Add the remaining English muffin cubes and top with the rest of the Canadian bacon.
5. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the layers.
6. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
8. Press the bread down gently so it can soak up the custard.
9. Cover the dish tightly and refrigerate overnight, or at least 6 hours.
10. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature while the oven preheats to 375°F.
11. Bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
12. Warm the hollandaise sauce if needed.
13. Spoon or drizzle the hollandaise over the casserole before serving.
14. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives and a light sprinkle of paprika if desired.
Notes
Use English muffins for the most classic eggs Benedict flavor and texture.
Let the casserole sit out for 20 to 30 minutes before baking so it cooks more evenly.
For the best finish, add hollandaise sauce right before serving instead of baking it into the casserole.
