Eggs Benedict Casserole is one of my favorite holiday breakfast casseroles!! Made with classic ingredients like English muffins, eggs, Canadian bacon and of course a delicious Hollandaise sauce. Make this the night before and enjoy the next morning. 

Breakfast casseroles are perfect to serve a crowd for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Check out a few of my other favorites: Farmers Breakfast Casserole, Western Breakfast Casserole, and French Toast Casserole.

This is a great overnight casserole for any occasion. I love making it for Christmas and Easter morning. The best part, no need for poaching eggs, they get cooked in the casserole. This makes it so much easier to assemble, especially for a crowd.  

Why is it called Eggs Benedict?

There are a few different versions of how this name came to be.

Delmonico’s restaurant in New York City claims to be the first to serve this incredible egg dish. According to their story, it was named for regular customer in the 1860’s, the Benedict’s.  

A man by the name of Lemeul Benedict also claims to have asked for a version of eggs Benedict to cure a hangover at the Waldorf hotel in 1894. 

Ingredients needed

English Muffins – I used original for this recipe but you could also use whole wheat. 

Eggs – Make sure to use pasteurized eggs, especially for the Hollandaise sauce. 

Canadian Bacon – Classic ingredient for eggs Benedict. 

Milk

Dry Mustard

Salt, Pepper

Lemon juice

Butter

Chives – Optional for topping

How to make eggs benedict casserole

  • Start by cutting the English muffins and Canadian bacon into small pieces. Mix them together and spread them into a 11 x 7 casserole dish sprayed with non-stick spray. 
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dry mustard, salt and pepper. Pour over the English Muffins and bacon. Cover and place in refrigerator for 8 hours. (Overnight)
  • When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 
  • Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake for another 30 minutes. 

How to make easy Hollandaise sauce

  • Place the pasteurized egg yolks in a blender with water, lemon juice and salt. Blend until smooth.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan until completely melted. Put the blender on high setting and pour the hot butter through the small hole in blender lid. Blend until thickened.

Recipe tips for overnight breakfast casserole

  • Canadian Bacon or Ham? I love Canadian Bacon for this but Ham is a great alternative. It’s the perfect dish for using leftover ham!
  • Does it have to sit for 8 hours? I typically make this before bed and then bake in the morning or for lunch. If you are short on time, I would recommend letting it chill for at least 1 hour. 
  • Leftovers – If you have leftovers, store in the refrigerator and the reheat in the oven for 10 minutes.

    This turned out amazingly well! I used cubed thick sliced sweet French bread (about 9 slices). Buttered the dish well. I used 1/2 lb of thin sliced deli ham and added 4 slices of Swiss cheese I had cut into small pieces and mixed it in with the bread. I refrigerated the mixture over night and baked the next morning. After it was done I made a package of Knorr hollandaise to pour over it and topped with minced green onion and sprinkling of paprika. Everyone went back for seconds!! I’ve tried similar recipes that I thought were dry. But this one was light and fluffy and moist. This is THE ONE!
