A make-ahead brunch bake that delivers the flavor of classic Eggs Benedict without poaching eggs, perfect for serving guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 slices English muffins, torn into pieces
  • 1 pound Canadian bacon, sliced or cubed
  • 12 large eggs
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (optional, for layering)
  • Hollandaise sauce, for topping (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Arrange half of the torn English muffin pieces evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
  3. Distribute the Canadian bacon over the muffin layer.
  4. If using, sprinkle the Swiss cheese over the bacon.
  5. Top with the remaining English muffin pieces.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  7. Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the muffin and bacon layers, pressing down gently to submerge the bread.
  8. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  9. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the plastic wrap.
  10. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and lightly golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean.
  11. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  12. Serve warm, topped generously with hollandaise sauce.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider using sourdough English muffins.
  • This recipe is a great alternative to complicated meal planning when hosting houseguests.
  • If you are short on time, using a high-quality store-bought hollandaise sauce saves significant prep time.
