Ingredients
6 English muffins, toasted and buttered
12 oz Canadian bacon, chopped
8 large eggs
1 1/3 cups heavy or whipping cream
2/3 cup whole milk
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp seasoned salt (e.g. Lawry’s)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dry mustard powder
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
For Hollandaise Sauce:
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup cream
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Dash kosher salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
1. Grease a 9×13 baking dish. Add half of the chopped Canadian bacon.
2. Toast and butter English muffins, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
3. Layer half the muffin pieces over the bacon. Repeat with remaining bacon and muffins.
4. In a bowl, whisk eggs, cream, milk, and all spices until fully combined.
5. Pour egg mixture evenly over the casserole layers.
6. Top with shredded cheese, if using. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
7. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake casserole covered for 35 minutes.
8. Uncover and bake 10–15 minutes more until the center is set and lightly golden.
9. For the hollandaise, blend yolks, cream, lemon juice, mustard, cayenne, and salt for 30 seconds.
10. Slowly blend in melted butter until sauce is smooth and thick.
11. Drizzle warm hollandaise over casserole slices when serving.
Notes
Dry bacon well before layering to avoid soggy texture.
Cook and drain any added vegetables like spinach.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
Reheat hollandaise gently in warm water, not the microwave.
Casserole can be frozen baked or unbaked. Thaw before reheating.
