Eggs Benedict Casserole

Eggs Benedict Casserole has all the flavor you love from the classic dish, mixed into one super tasty breakfast casserole. I developed this casserole to be an easy eggs benedict recipe made with English muffins, filled with ham, and topped off with a simple sauce. I find it’s an easier way to make a classic breakfast that everyone loves, and I love it for Mother’s Day or Easter brunch.

What’s in This Eggs Benedict Casserole Recipe?

If I can turn something into a casserole, you bet I will! And I must say, this eggs Benedict casserole turned out beautifully. It’s so much simpler than making individual portions. You get the same great taste, enough to serve about 10 people, all made in one casserole dish. Easy! Note to my husband: this is what I want made for me for Mother’s Day breakfast in bed!!

• Unsalted Butter: Adds moisture and richness to the casserole and helps keep it from sticking to the pan.
• English Muffins: The classic base for eggs Benedict, using them as the base of this casserole makes so much sense!
• Black Forest Ham: Adds a salty and umami element to the casserole.
• Eggs: You’ll need 16 eggs– yes, 16!– to make this delicious casserole.
• Milk + Cream: A combination of milk and heavy cream adds moisture to the casserole.
• Spices: Garlic powder, grated nutmeg, dried mustard, salt, pepper, and sweet paprika enhance the flavor of this casserole.
• Hollandaise Sauce: This recipe for blender Hollandaise sauce is so simple and so delicious– perfect for drizzling over this yummy casserole!

Variations To Try

This casserole is so fun to experiment with. I’ve made it with bacon instead of ham (so good!), but Canadian bacon, lump crab meat, or smoked salmon would also be delish! Or skip the meat altogether and add sautéed spinach or mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
