How to Make Eggs Benedict Casserole with Hollandaise Sauce

Prepare the Casserole Dish

Start by greasing a 9×13 inch casserole dish with either butter or non-stick spray. This step is crucial to ensure that your casserole comes out effortlessly. Trust me, there’s nothing more frustrating than a sticky dish when you’re excited to serve up something delicious!

Layer the Chicken Ham and English Muffins

Begin by spreading half of the chopped chicken ham evenly at the bottom of the casserole dish. Toast your English muffins, spread them with butter for extra flavor, and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Layer those fluffy muffin bits over the ham, then repeat the process with the remaining chicken ham and muffin pieces. Even layering is key; it allows each bite to burst with flavor, so don’t skimp on the distribution!

Make the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together those fresh eggs, rich cream, milk, and an array of seasonings until everything is well combined. This step is essential because a thorough mix ensures that the flavors blend beautifully. The result? A lovely, fluffy texture that makes each slice of your casserole irresistible. Dive in and make sure there’s no clumping; smoothness is your goal here!

Assemble the Casserole

Now comes the fun part! Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top of your muffin and ham creation. It melts beautifully and adds a delightful gooey texture. Gently pour the egg mixture evenly over everything, allowing it to seep through the layers. The sight of the creamy mixture soaking into your ingredients is enough to get anyone excited about brunch.

Refrigerate

Cover your masterpiece with foil and refrigerate it overnight, or let it chill for at least 4 hours. This resting time is your secret weapon; it enhances the flavors and allows everything to set perfectly. Trust me, giving it time to soak in all those delicious flavors makes a world of difference!

Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and pop that casserole in, covered with foil, for 35 minutes. After that, remove the foil and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it! You want a golden top and a firm center. Use visual cues—those lovely, bubbly edges are the sign of a perfectly baked dish!

Make the Hollandaise Sauce

While your casserole is baking, let’s whip up the star of the show—Hollandaise sauce! In your blender, combine egg yolks, cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of cayenne. Blend until smooth, then slowly drizzle in melted butter while the blender runs. This sauce is what ties your casserole together; its creamy, tangy flavor perfectly complements the rich flavors of the dish. Keep an eye on the consistency—it should be velvety!

Serve

When it’s time to serve, drizzle that divine hollandaise sauce over individual portions of your casserole or spoon it generously over the whole dish. Presentation is key! Elevate your brunch experience by sprinkling fresh chives or serving it alongside a colorful salad. Your guests will be impressed!

Store Leftovers

Got leftovers? Store them in an airtight container and pop them in the fridge. They’ll keep for about 4-5 days. For reheating, gently warm the hollandaise sauce in a bowl of hot water instead of the microwave. This ensures the sauce retains its silky texture and doesn’t separate. A little love goes a long way!

Tips for Success

Use day-old English muffins for better absorption and texture.
Feel free to experiment with different meats like turkey ham or even crumbled bacon to suit your taste.
For a vegetarian twist, skip the meat entirely and add sautéed spinach or roasted tomatoes instead.
Make sure to cover the casserole tightly while baking to keep it moist and fluffy.
Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top just before serving for a burst of color and flavor!

Equipment Needed

Casserole dish: A 9×13 inch dish is ideal, but any similar-sized baking dish works.
Whisk: A sturdy whisk is perfect for mixing your egg mixture thoroughly; a fork can work in a pinch!
Blender: An immersion blender or a regular countertop blender is essential for the smooth hollandaise sauce.
Measuring cups and spoons: Keep these handy to ensure you’re following the recipe accurately.
Foil: You’ll need it to cover the casserole while refrigerating and baking.

Variations

Turkey ham: Swap out chicken ham for turkey ham if you’re looking for a lighter option.
Veggies: Enhance your casserole by adding sautéed spinach, roasted tomatoes, or bell peppers for a burst of color and nutrients.
Vegetarian: Omit the meat entirely and replace it with hearty mushrooms or zucchini for a satisfying meatless version.
Different cheese: Experiment with cheeses like cheddar or feta for a unique twist on flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Fresh fruit: A vibrant fruit salad adds a refreshing contrast to the rich casserole.
Mimosas: A classic brunch drink, mimosas beautifully complement the flavors and elevate the occasion.
Simple green salad: Serve with a light salad to balance the richness of the dish.
Presentation: Arrange the casserole on a colorful platter, garnished with fresh herbs for a stunning display.
