Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large English muffins, split and cubed
  • 8 ounces Canadian bacon, sliced
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk or 2%
  • 1 cup (100 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 tablespoons (55 g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 egg yolks (for hollandaise)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Cube the English muffins into roughly 1-inch pieces and spread evenly in the dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook Canadian bacon slices until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat, chop into bite-sized pieces, and scatter over muffin cubes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 8 eggs and 2 cups milk until combined. Add shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour custard evenly over muffin and bacon layer. Gently press bread down to soak custard.
  4. Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. Remove casserole from fridge 10 minutes before baking. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes until top is golden and center is set. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly.
  6. While baking, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan and keep warm. In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and cayenne over simmering water. Slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking until sauce thickens. Keep warm.
  7. Let casserole cool 5 minutes after baking. Drizzle generously with hollandaise sauce and garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for best custard setting. If hollandaise sauce separates, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to bring it back together. Tent casserole with foil if edges brown too quickly. Overnight soaking is key for texture and flavor. Dairy-free and vegetarian substitutions are possible.
