Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• Casserole:
• 6 English muffins, chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 10 oz Canadian bacon, diced
• 8 large eggs
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp salt

• Dash cayenne pepper

Instructions

• 1. Grease 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread chopped English muffins and Canadian bacon evenly in dish.
• 2. In large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over muffin mixture. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours).
• 3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove casserole from fridge 30 minutes before baking.
• 4. Bake uncovered 35-40 minutes until golden brown and eggs set (knife in center clean). Let rest 10 minutes.
• 5. For hollandaise: Melt butter until bubbling. In blender, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, cayenne. Blend 2 seconds, then slowly pour hot butter while blending until thick. Serve immediately over casserole.

Notes

• Overnight soak essential for muffin pieces to absorb custard fully.
• Blender hollandaise foolproof; double boiler traditional but trickier.
• Canadian bacon preferred; diced ham works as substitute.
• Leftovers reheat 350°F oven 15 minutes with foil.
• Make hollandaise fresh each serving doesn’t reheat well.
