How to Make Eggs Benedict Casserole
You are going to looooove how easy this Eggs Benedict Casserole is! First, toast your English muffin pieces by broiling them in the oven for 2 minutes on each side. This gives us the same results as 2 day-old bread which is typically used in French Toast Bakes. The toasted bread allows it to soak up the egg mixture but still retain some structure for a palate pleasing texture.
Next, we layer half of the Canadian bacon.
Followed by an even layer of all of the toasted English muffin pieces.
This is also your chance to customize your Eggs Benedict Casserole with whatever add-ins you’re craving such as spinach, asparagus, tomatoes, bell peppers etc.
Next, in a large measuring cup or mixing bowl (something with a spout so it’s easy to pour later) whisk together eggs, milk and our hand pick selection of McCormick seasonings of McCormick® Garlic Powder, McCormick® Dried Parsley, McCormick® Dried Chives, McCormick® Onion Powder, McCormick® Paprika, McCormick® Salt and McCormick® pepper then pour this egg mixture evenly over the muffins and Canadian bacon.
This perfectly seasoned egg mixture results in the rich poached egg flavor as it soaks into the English muffins overnight.
The next morning, remove your Eggs Benedict Casserole from refrigerator and let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes then all that’s left to do is bake!
The last 5 minutes or so, prepare your Hollandaise Sauce so your sauce and casserole can both be served warm.
You are going to be blown away by this Blender Hollandaise Sauce. Sufficient to say, you will never go back to the stove top method again when this Blender Hollandaise Sauce again is easier, faster and just as – if not more – delicious.
Now it’s time to dig into Eggs Benedict Casserole brimming with salty Canadian bacon, loaded with eggs and hearty English muffins all finished with luxuriously rich and creamy, EASY, Hollandaise sauce. AKA the perfect crowd-pleasing Easter breakfast to feed your family and guests!

LaTrice says
I LOOOOOOOVE eggs benedict!!!! 🙂
Jen says
I am extra excited for you – you will LOVE this version too!
Wendy says
This breakfast/brunch casserole looks heavenly. It sure wouldn’t lack flavor and who wouldn’t be thrilled to be served this. One question. There are no directions for the Hollandaise Sauce. Do you pour it over the casserole after it bakes??
Jen says
Hi Wendy, this would definitely be a hit! Thanks for the heads up on the Hollandaise, I will clarify in the recipe. You can definitely serve it either way -either over the entire casserole or let people add it to their individual servings. I just wouldn’t add it to the entire casserole if you expect leftovers because it has to be reheated slowly per the post so it doesn’t cook. I hope that helps, happy Easter!
Vince says
I’m a huge fan of eggs benedict but this variation is equally fun. Seems like it would be much easier to get right too.
Jen says
Thank you so much Vince! You will love how easy and delicious this is – a winning combo!
Crab Dynasty says
It does sound yummy!! Just went on my menu for Easter. Thanks for sharing.
Jen says
You are so welcome, enjoy! Happy Easter!
Katy says
WOW this looks sooo good. GREAT idea!! I want to make this for dinner! I see it needs to sit overnight, why is that? If I were to make it at 10am and cook it at 6pm is that enough time for it to soak?
Jen says
Hi Katy! It sits overnight to absorb the liquid/egg mixture. Yes, I think 10am-6pm should work fine! Enjoy!
Debbie says
I love your recipes and the great information we receive with your blogs. I only have one comment…it is sometimes difficult to go from one recipe and have to pull up a different post to find the other half of the recipe (hollindaise sauce).
Thank you for an awesome double recipe. I have used many, many, many recipes from your site. They have all been excellent!
Thank You
Jen says
Hi Debbie, I’m so happy you are enjoying my recipes, thank you! I link to different recipes so readers have all the information/notes, etc. accompanying that recipe and that way I can use them often. Thanks for making so many of my recipes!
Melyssa Braman says
Will the English muffins get soggy? I have an issue with soggy bread- so I just want to check before I make this. It sounds wonderful!
Jen says
Hi Melyssa, they won’t get soggy and retain most of their structure thanks to toasting in step 1 but they will soften some.
Veronica says
Delicious!! Made this for brunch over the weekend and it was a big hit. And then blender hollandaise is a game changer. So much easier and less stressful than making regular eggs benedict, but with all the great flavor. Definitely will make again!
Jen says
Thanks so much for the awesome review Veronica! I’m so pleased it was a winner and that you loved the blender hollandaise sauce!
Stephanie says
WOW, LOVED this! Eggs Benedict is ALWAYS my favorite go to item at any brunch or breakfast restaurant because it’s such a pain to make it at home for my family. Served this up on Mother’s Day along with you Blueberry French Toast Casserole w/ Blueberry Sauce. I loved the combo of spices you used to make the casserole so flavorful and the hollandaise was so easy. I’ve alway used a pinch of cayenne in my hollandaise to wake it up & amused you did too. A favorite diner we go to has several variations of Benedict, my favorite uses thick bacon instead of Canadian bacon & has some avocado slices fanned out on top of eggs. I see myself making this casserole with bacon some time & diced avocado for garnish. Even making it Florentine with some spinach and diced tomato for garnish sounds good. Such a great recipe as always, Jen.
Jen says
Yesssss! Thanks Stephanie, I’m thrilled it was easy and a hit with the whole family! I am loving all your variation ideas, you’re making me excited to try them!
John Lubeck says
Made for Mother’s day brunch. Happened to have all the ingredients, except substituted some high quality sliced ham for part of the Canadian Bacon, virtually the same thing I guess. Super easy to make and better yet, the night before. Just pop it in the oven an hour or so before you’re ready to serve. Tasty, everyone liked it and easy to make. What could be better?
Jen says
Thanks so much for the glowing review John! I’m so pleased it was easy and a hit. What a great treat for Mother’s Day!
Petra says
Hello! We don’t have english muffins where I live, any suggestions on another type of pastry or bread I could use? Thank you!
Jen says
Hi Petra, you can also use brioche, challah or French bread. Enjoy!
Amanda says
If I use regular bacon instead of Canadian bacon should I cook it before adding to the casserole or can I add it raw?
Jen says
Cook it until crispy before adding. Enjoy!
Dee says
Any chance this could be assembled ahead, frozen, thawed then cooked?
Jen says
Hi Dee, I think this should freeze well before baking because the ingredients don’t release moisture when frozen. When ready to bake, thaw the casserole in the refrigerator overnight before baking as directed, or bake it from frozen with an extended baking time to ensure the center heats through.
Samantha Woltjer says
Do you think you could do this in a muffin pan for an easy pot luck dish vs a 9×3?
Jen says
I’ve not tried, but in theory you definitely can. Muffin pans cook faster than a 9×13 dish, so I’d suggest reducing the cooking time, and checking them frequently during baking. Let me know how they turn out!
