Perfect make-ahead brunch for holidays, Mother’s Day, or Pinterest breakfast boards with all the Eggs Benedict taste without poaching eggs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Pie Crust:
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • Quiche Filling:
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 6 oz Canadian bacon, diced
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives or green onions
  • ½ cup shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese (optional)
  • Blender Hollandaise Sauce:
  • 3 large egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Fit pie crust into 9-inch pie plate. Crimp edges, line with parchment and pie weights. Blind bake 15 minutes. Remove weights, bake 5 more minutes until lightly golden. Reduce oven to 350°F.
  • 2. Whisk eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in diced Canadian bacon, chives, and cheese. Pour into pre-baked crust.
  • 3. Bake 40-45 minutes until center is set but slightly jiggly. Cool 15 minutes before slicing.
  • 4. Make hollandaise: Add egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne to blender. Blend 15 seconds. With blender running, slowly pour in hot melted butter through lid opening until thickened (20-30 seconds).

Notes

  • Total liquid (eggs+cream+milk) should measure 2½ cups for perfect custard texture.
  • Canadian bacon preferred over ham for authentic Eggs Benedict flavor.
  • Blind baking prevents soggy crust; don’t skip pie weights step.
  • Hollandaise best served immediately; keep warm over double boiler.
  • Make-ahead: Bake quiche up to 3 days ahead, reheat slices and make fresh hollandaise.
  • Garnish with parsley, extra chives, or paprika for Pinterest presentation.
