Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 English muffins, toasted and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 12 slices Canadian bacon, chopped
  • 8 large eggs, beaten (room temperature)
  • 1 cup whole milk (or 1% milk)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (about 1 stick), melted
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Toast English muffins to golden brown and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook chopped Canadian bacon until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together beaten eggs and milk until well combined. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread half of the English muffin cubes evenly in the baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cooked Canadian bacon over the bread. Pour half of the egg mixture on top. Repeat with remaining bread, bacon, and egg mixture. Press gently to ensure even soaking.
  5. In a medium saucepan over very low heat, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt. Slowly drizzle in melted butter, whisking constantly until sauce thickens to a creamy consistency. Remove from heat and whisk in softened cream cheese until smooth. Add cayenne pepper if using.
  6. Drizzle hollandaise sauce evenly over the assembled casserole. Use a spatula to gently spread if needed.
  7. Bake casserole for 30-35 minutes, or until eggs are set and top is golden and bubbly. It should jiggle slightly but not be runny.
  8. Let casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley and freshly ground black pepper.

Notes

Keep heat low when whisking hollandaise sauce to prevent curdling. Adding cream cheese stabilizes the sauce. Do not over-soak bread cubes to avoid mushiness. Use glass or ceramic baking dish for even heat. Can be assembled the night before and refrigerated; add 10 minutes to baking time if chilled. For a crispier top, broil for last 2 minutes watching closely.
