A simple and delicious casserole that captures the classic flavors of Eggs Benedict, perfect for feeding a crowd with minimal fuss and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large English muffins, cut into 1-inch cubes (whole wheat preferred)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cooked ham, diced
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk (can substitute almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 ½ cups (150 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 tbsp (55 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 egg yolks
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
  2. Cut English muffins into 1-inch cubes and spread evenly in the baking dish. Scatter diced ham over the muffin cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and whole milk until well combined. Add shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard. Mix gently but thoroughly.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the muffin and ham layer. Press down lightly so muffins absorb the liquid. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to soak.
  5. Prepare the hollandaise sauce: melt butter. In a blender, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Blend on low while slowly adding melted butter until sauce thickens and becomes silky. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Bake the casserole uncovered for 35-40 minutes until puffed and golden brown on top and a knife inserted comes out clean. Check after 30 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  7. Serve the casserole warm with hollandaise sauce drizzled on top or on the side.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk to prevent cracking or curdling. Let muffin cubes soak in egg mixture for 10 minutes for custardy texture. Watch bake time closely to avoid drying out. Blender method for hollandaise is foolproof; alternatively, whisk over simmering water. The casserole can be assembled the night before and baked the next day. Leftovers reheat well; make fresh hollandaise for best flavor.
