Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 12 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Main
- 1 package (12 oz) English muffins, split and toasted
- 8 oz Canadian bacon, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Sauce
- 1 cup Hollandaise sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
- Whisk Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs, 2 cups of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard until fully combined and smooth.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking, then layer the toasted English muffin halves evenly at the bottom.
- Add Canadian Bacon: Sprinkle the diced 8 oz Canadian bacon evenly over the layer of English muffins to distribute savory flavor throughout.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the muffins and Canadian bacon, allowing it to soak into the bread.
- Top with Cheese and Parsley: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley evenly over the top for added flavor and freshness.
- Bake Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to allow it to set further.
- Serve with Hollandaise: Drizzle 1 cup of Hollandaise sauce over individual servings just before serving for a rich, tangy finish.
Notes
- Use store-bought Hollandaise sauce for convenience or prepare your own for a fresher taste.
- To make ahead, assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate; bake just before serving.
- If you prefer, substitute Canadian bacon with smoked ham or cooked breakfast sausage.
- For a crispier top, broil the casserole for 1-2 minutes after baking but watch closely to prevent burning.
- This casserole can be reheated in the oven or microwave; add extra Hollandaise sauce fresh before serving.
