Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 68 English muffins, toasted and halved
  • 8 ounces Canadian bacon or thinly sliced ham

Custard Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Topping

  • 1 cup hollandaise sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • Fresh herbs (chives or parsley), for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and set aside.
  2. Layer the Base: Place half of the toasted English muffin halves evenly in the prepared baking dish. Next, layer the Canadian bacon or ham evenly over the muffins.
  3. Mix and Pour the Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour this egg mixture evenly over the layered muffins and bacon in the baking dish, ensuring it soaks into all layers.
  4. Add Hollandaise and Bake: Drizzle the hollandaise sauce evenly over the top of the egg mixture. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the custard is fully set and slightly golden on top.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This helps it set further and makes it easier to slice. Garnish with fresh herbs like chopped chives or parsley before serving warm.

Notes

  • You can prepare the casserole a day ahead and refrigerate it covered, then bake it fresh in the morning to save time.
  • For a lighter variation, use low-fat milk instead of whole milk and reduce the hollandaise sauce or opt for a lighter homemade version.
  • Feel free to add sautéed spinach or mushrooms between layers for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Make sure to toast the English muffins lightly before assembling to prevent sogginess.
