Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole

Eggs Benedict Casserole is an easy to make savory bread pudding with all the flavor of Eggs Benedict.

Who doesn’t love Eggs Benedict? It always feels like a treat to order it at a restaurant and I occasionally make it at home. I especially like this Southern Eggs Benedict recipe with pulled pork.

But making all the different components and assembling them can be tedious, especially cooking the poached eggs.

Well, good news. For this Eggs Benedict Casserole, there’s no need to poach eggs or pre-cook them in any way. They get whisked together with milk and poured over the casserole and they cook as the casserole bakes in the oven.

And yet, I swear this casserole still has that poached egg flavor.

English muffins are cut into pieces and layered with lots of chopped Canadian bacon and asparagus. You can leave the asparagus out, but I love any chance I can get to eat asparagus with Hollandaise sauce.

How To Make

(More detailed instructions in recipe card below.)

Spread half the English muffin cubes in the bottom of casserole dish.
Top with half the asparagus and Canadian bacon. Scatter with Swiss cheese pieces.
Repeat layers of English muffin cubes, asparagus, and Canadian bacon.
In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, onion powder and paprika.
Pour over casserole and refrigerate overnight.
Bake for 40 minutes covered. Then uncover and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and green onions. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes.
Serve with hollandaise sauce.

Recipe Tips

I’ve used Hollandaise sauce made from packets to pour over the casserole, but if you want to go to the trouble of making homemade, it will taste even better.
Make it spicy by adding a pinch or two of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture.
Broccoli or sauteed spinach can be substituted for the asparagus.

Make Ahead

The whole casserole gets assembled the night before, refrigerated overnight, and then baked in the morning. It can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance.

How To Serve

Perfect for a holiday brunch or a special weekend breakfast when you have guests over. I especially love it for both Christmas morning and Easter brunch. Also makes a great Mother’s Day recipe.

With this easy casserole you have all the flavor of Eggs Benedict without slaving over the stove all morning. Just pop it in the oven, drown it in Hollandaise sauce and let everyone help themselves. Leftovers reheat well too.

How To Store

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days. It reheats well in the microwave.

Can It Be Frozen?

Yes, this casserole freezes well. I recommend assembling it and freezing before baking. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw completely in the refrigerator before baking.
