- 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

- Hollandaise:
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter

- ¼ tsp salt
- Dash cayenne pepper
- 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.
