Easy Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole Recipe

Eggs Benedict is what many people would consider a restaurant treat. I understand, when it comes to poaching eggs and making homemade hollandaise sauce it’s not for everyone. In particular when you’re entertaining or at the holidays when you want to spend time making memories and not slaving over a hot stove. This make-ahead casserole will feed eight, depending on appetites of course, and can be assembled in advance and baked when you’re ready to eat. That makes it a win for me. How to make simple Eggs Benedict Casserole:

• Bread – Cubed English Muffins.
• Meat – Canadian bacon or smoked ham.
• Filling – Large Eggs and half and half.
• Seasonings – Salt, black pepper, ground mustard, paprika, nutmeg, granulated garlic, onion powder.
• Cheese – Shredded sharp white cheddar cheese.
• Topping – Pats of butter for the top before baking and blender hollandaise sauce.
• Garnishes – Snipped fresh chives or parsley.

How to Make the BEST Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole: Cubed English muffins, large eggs, Canadian bacon, half and half, salt, freshly ground black pepper, ground mustard, granulated garlic, onion powder, dried thyme, ground nutmeg, paprika, fresh chives, butter, shredded white cheddar cheese and one batch of Hollandaise Sauce recipe here.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Medium bowl, large bowl, cheese grater, sharp knife and cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
• For the best result, use half and half as called for in this dish. If you want to adapt, you could use all cream but, preferably not all milk.
• Canadian bacon is typically used for classic Eggs Benedict and as we all know, it’s really just thinly sliced rounds of ham. You may of course, use it in place of cubed ham for this dish in the same amount. That said, this is a fantastic way to use leftover holiday ham from Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
• The baking dish for this recipe is a 2 quart or 11 x 7 inch oblong dish which is ample for the amount of ingredients. If you’d like to make this in a 13 x 9 inch dish, you’ll need to increase the amount of ingredients for the best result. (i.e. Instead of doubling, increase by 1/2)
• While cheese isn’t typically part of traditional Eggs Benedict, keep in mind this is a casserole therefore, it makes sense to add cheese to bind and for added flavor. I love a sharp white cheddar cheese in this casserole but, you can adapt using your favorite flavor of cheese.

More Tips for Making Eggs Benedict Recipe

• You could add chopped steamed asparagus or baby spinach to this dish.
• A dusting of paprika on top and a few nobs of butter add color and flavor to the baked casserole that turns the entire dish into eye candy. Don’t skip it.
• Depending on the appetites of those you’re serving, you can yield 8 larger portions or 12 medium.
• For ease of preparation, you may use a 1.25 ounce packet of hollandaise sauce mix like this one made by McCormick’s in place of the blender version, if you prefer.
• Store baked Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave.
