Ingredients You’ll Need (Simple & Familiar)

Nothing fancy or hard to find here—just good, reliable ingredients doing what they do best.

• Canadian bacon (diced) – Brings that salty, meaty flavor we all expect
• English muffins (chopped) – The nooks and crannies soak up the custard beautifully
• Large eggs – The backbone of the casserole
• Whole milk – For a creamy, comforting base
• Onion powder – Adds subtle savoriness without stealing the spotlight
• Garlic powder – Warm and aromatic (fresh garlic would be too much here)
• Salt & black pepper – Balance is everything
• Paprika – A gentle smoky finish and gorgeous color
• Fresh parsley – Bright, fresh, and just plain pretty
• Hollandaise sauce – Homemade or store-bought, your call

💡 Tip from my kitchen: If your Canadian bacon is thick-cut, dice it slightly smaller so every bite stays balanced.

How to Make Eggs Benedict Casserole Bake (Step-by-Step)

This recipe is all about layering, soaking, and letting the oven do the work. No fancy techniques required.

1. Prep the Pan

Lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Future you will be very grateful during cleanup.

2. Layer the Canadian Bacon

Scatter half of the diced Canadian bacon evenly across the bottom of the dish. This forms that savory foundation that makes every bite satisfying.

3. Add the English Muffins

Spread half of the chopped English muffins over the bacon, gently nestling them in so they sit evenly.

4. Repeat the Layers

Add the remaining bacon, followed by the rest of the English muffins. Balanced layers mean balanced bites—no soggy corners or dry spots.

5. Mix the Custard

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until completely smooth. Take a moment here—fully blended eggs make all the difference in texture.

6. Pour It Over

Slowly pour the custard over the layered ingredients. Use a spoon to gently press down any dry muffin pieces so everything gets coated.

7. Refrigerate to Soak

Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is even better. This soaking step is what turns simple ingredients into a dreamy, custardy casserole.

8. Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Uncover the dish, sprinkle paprika over the top, and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.

9. Warm the Hollandaise

While the casserole finishes baking, gently warm your hollandaise sauce on the stovetop or according to package directions. Keep it warm, not hot.

10. Finish & Serve

Let the casserole rest for a few minutes, then drizzle generously with hollandaise and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Slice into squares and serve warm.

Cooking Tips from My Kitchen to Yours

• Don’t skip the soak. This is what gives you that soft, almost bread-pudding texture.
• Let it rest after baking. Five minutes helps everything set so slices stay neat.
• Sauce control is personal. Drizzle lightly for elegance or go bold—it’s brunch, not a test.
• Paprika choice matters. Sweet paprika is classic, smoked adds extra depth.

And if your hollandaise looks a little thick or stubborn? A splash of warm water and a whisk usually brings it right back to life.

A Little Story from My Table

The first time I made this Eggs Benedict Casserole Bake, it was for a family brunch where I really didn’t want to juggle pans and timing. I needed something forgiving—something I could pop in the oven and forget about while chatting and refilling coffee.

It disappeared faster than anything else on the table.

Now it’s my go-to whenever we have guests or when my kids ask for “the fancy breakfast.” Funny thing is, they don’t know how easy it is—and I’m not telling.
