Eggs Benedict Casserole
Eggs Benedict Casserole is an easy brunch casserole recipe with English muffins, Canadian bacon, eggs, melted cheese, and homemade hollandaise sauce.A Filling Breakfast CasseroleThe Eggs Benedict Casserole is baked with English muffins, Canadian ham, eggs, two different types of cheeses and a homemade Hollandaise sauce. I think this is a great option if everyone loves Eggs Benedict but maybe you dont want to go through all the fuss of making a bunch of individual servings. This is the perfect dish for breakfast or brunch!Frequently Asked Questions:Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, you can make this the night before, which will allow all the flavor to come together and for the English muffins to be softer. You can also make the sauce the day before. You can reheat over very low heat or a double broiler. If the sauce breaks and separates, you can add a teaspoon at a time of warm water. Can I make the sauce before baking? I would make it before serving, so the sauce is silky and smooth, and can be served at room temperature. How do I prevent the English muffins from being soggy? You can toast the English muffins and then bake them immediately after you have put them all in the casserole dish. Can I use a different baking dish? You could use a 913-inch baking dish if that is all you have. The casserole will be thinner so you may have to adjust the baking time. It shouldnt take quite as long since it is thinner. I cant give an exact time though because I havent tested that out. What can I serve with the casserole? Fresh fruit, a garden salad, or roasted potatoes go great with this breakfast casserole. Is it okay to use raw egg yolks? If youre ever had Eggs Benedict before, the hollandaise sauce is always made with raw eggs so youve actually eaten raw eggs before already. If you are concerned about using raw eggs, you may want to purchase pasteurized eggs. How do I store leftovers? You can keep the casserole in the fridge for up to 3 days. The hollandaise sauce will be good for up to 24 hours. You can reheat in a room-temperature dish. To reheat the sauce, use a double broiler or heat it very low. Ingredients Needed: (See Recipe Card Below For The Full Recipe)eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk This is the base for the custard for the casserole. The egg yolks will be used to create the creamy sauce.The heavy cream is essential. If you try to use milk, the batter could end up too thin.dijon mustard -You can cut the mustard in half if you want it even milder.Keep in mind that dijon mustard is traditional in eggs Benedict, so I dont want to switch it out.English muffins You can use any brand.I think the English muffins (they are traditional to Eggs Benedict as well) work best in this as they are sturdier and hold up to the thick batter but I am sure croissants could be used, but it has the potential to get soggy. Cubed French bread would work I think. But, know that if you want to try any of these alternatives, I have not tested these out yet, so do so at your own risk.canadian bacon You can use Canadian bacon, regular bacon, ham, or bacon.mozzarella cheese The mozzarella cheese melts very well and adds creaminess to the dish.provolone cheese This will add a sharper flavor and a bit more saltiness.You can use Monterey Jack or Swiss. You want to stay with the white cheese, but you could use any cheese you have on hand.A yellow cheese has a stronger flavor and can overpower the casserole.green onions The green onions add freshness and a great color to the casserole.water The water is used to thin out the sauce.lemon juice This adds the acid to the sauce.Stick to the real lemon juice over the bottled stuff. The stuff in the bottle is so acidic and can ruin the flavors.unsalted butter I prefer unsalted so I can control the salt content in the sauce.garlic powder, salt, and black pepper I use my usual seasoning blend here but please feel free to get creative and use what you prefer.
