Savory Eggs Benedict Casserole for Any Occasion

Introduction

Eggs Benedict is a brunch classic beloved for its rich, comforting flavors. This Savory Eggs Benedict Casserole transforms the elegant dish into an easy, crowd-pleasing bake that’s perfect for special occasions or simple family mornings alike. Its make-ahead convenience and irresistible combination of ham, English muffins, and creamy hollandaise make it a go-to for effortless entertaining.

Irresistibly Savory Eggs Benedict Casserole

Why settle for individual portions when you can impress a crowd with this hearty, all-in-one casserole? Every bite delivers the iconic mix of toasted English muffins, savory ham, fluffy eggs, and a silky hollandaise drizzle. The casserole format not only simplifies the prep but also ensures everyone gets a taste of that classic Benedict flavor without the fuss.

Making Velvety Hollandaise for Your Casserole

A key to this casserole’s success is a luscious, easy hollandaise. Melted butter is whisked with egg yolks, lemon juice, and a hint of Dijon mustard to create a sauce that’s rich but not heavy. If preparing ahead, keep the hollandaise gently warmed and pour over the casserole just before serving for best results.

Assembling and Baking Your Eggs Benedict Casserole

Layer cubed English muffins and diced ham in a baking dish, then pour a custard mixture of eggs, milk, and cream over the top. This soaks overnight or at least for a few hours, allowing the flavors to meld. After baking until puffed and golden, finish with a generous drizzle of hollandaise and a sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley.

For added color and zing, garnish with chives, dill, or a sprinkle of smoked paprika. It’s delicious warm and can be paired with mimosas or fresh coffee for a celebratory meal.
