Easy Eggs Benedict
Poaching eggs, toasting English Muffins, assembling every plate one at a time. Call me dramatic, but that’s too much work for me, especially when I have multiple people to feed.
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!
Eggs Benedict Sauce
This dish wouldn’t be complete without the eggs benedict sauce…I mean, Hollandaise Sauce! That creamy, lemony sauce absolutely makes the recipe, and this casserole wouldn’t be quite right without it. Luckily I have a super quick way to make it: in a blender! It’s so easy to prepare while the casserole is in the oven, and then you can drizzle it over the whole thing, or set it out so everyone can use as much as they please.

How to Make Eggs Benedict Casserole
This breakfast casserole is surprisingly simple. You can get up in the morning, spend about 15-20 minutes putting this together, and then let it bake. It’s the perfect thing to make for breakfast when hosting guests, or when you have family over for the holidays.
The EASY way to make Eggs Benedict:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, and use softened butter to coat the inside of your casserole/baking dish.
- Cut/tear English Muffins into pieces, and place them along the bottom of the dish.
- Drizzle melted butter over the muffins, and then place the chopped pieces of ham on top.
- In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, heavy cream, nutmeg, garlic powder, dried mustard, salt & pepper. Pour the mixture over the muffins and ham so that it’s fully covered.
- Now cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes at 375°F.
- Then remove the foil, sprinkle with a bit of paprika, return to the oven, and bake (uncovered) another 25-30 minutes.
Make the easy Hollandaise sauce while the casserole is baking so it’s ready to drizzle on top when it’s done. Check the recipe card for full detailed instructions.

Nutrition Information
I would love to try this recipe but in our home we have cholesterol issues. Can egg substitutes be used instead of the 16 eggs and if so how much?
Hi Rosemary, unfortunately, we do not have much experience with egg substitutes in recipes where the primary ingredient is eggs. We’d encourage you to seek out a cholesterol-specific blog for possible substitutes!
Sounds awesome, but before I make this….Just wondering about the English muffin part. I under the ingredient list are you counting 1 English muffin as a full one….so 2 halves? Or are you counting English muffin as one side of one? Sounds confusing, I know. 1 full English muffin has 2 parts,
Would make big difference depending on which way in your ingredient list
A full muffin!
What can I use since we don’t care for ham or English muffins?
Any ideas for substitutes?
Maybe shredded rotisserie chicken and Texas toast? or chopped bagels?
Turkey bacon and a rustic rosemary bread
How about make something else?
Hash browns and bacon or smoked salmon,
Can this be put together the night before and then just put in the oven?
Yes!
THANK YOU!!!
I was going to ask the same question. Early breakfast for friends tomorrow. Wanted to put together the night before.
