Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Canadian bacon, diced
- 6 English muffins, split and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Garnish & Sauce
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup hollandaise sauce
- Prepare Baking Dish: Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Layer Canadian Bacon: Evenly distribute half of the diced Canadian bacon across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the first layer.
- Add English Muffins: Scatter half of the English muffin pieces evenly over the Canadian bacon layer to create the second layer.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining Canadian bacon and English muffin pieces to build a uniform casserole base.
- Mix Eggs and Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, onion powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the layered Canadian bacon and English muffin pieces ensuring all parts are saturated.
- Refrigerate: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best texture and enhanced flavor infusion.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
- Bake Casserole: Remove plastic wrap, sprinkle paprika evenly over the top, then bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
- Heat Sauce: While baking, heat the hollandaise sauce according to package or homemade recipe instructions until warm and ready to serve.
- Serve: Once baked, allow the casserole to cool briefly, then drizzle warm hollandaise sauce over the top and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Refrigerating the casserole overnight improves flavor depth and texture.
- Try adding alternative toppings such as spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes for variation.
- Use turkey bacon and skim milk for a lighter, lower-fat version of this dish.
- This casserole is ideal for brunch gatherings, holiday breakfasts, or special occasions.
