Ingredients
Scale
- 6 English muffins
- 12 ounces chicken ham, chopped
- 8 large eggs
- 1 & 1/3 cups cream
- 2/3 cup whole milk, or any milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry’s)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard powder
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (optional)
- For the Sauce:
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Dash of kosher salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Casserole Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with butter, or spray with non-stick spray.
- Layer the Chicken Ham and English Muffins: Spread half of the chopped chicken ham in the bottom of the casserole dish. Toast the English muffins, spread with butter, chop into pieces, and layer over the ham. Repeat with the remaining chicken ham and muffin pieces.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, milk, salt, seasoned salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, and mustard powder until well mixed.
- Assemble the Casserole: Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top, then pour the egg mixture evenly over the muffin and ham layers.
- Refrigerate: Cover the casserole with foil and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the casserole covered with foil for 35 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until set.
- Make the Hollandaise Sauce: Blend egg yolks, cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, and a dash of salt until smooth. Slowly drizzle in melted butter with the blender running.
- Serve: Drizzle hollandaise sauce over individual portions of the casserole or spoon it over the entire dish.
- Store Leftovers: Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days, and reheat hollandaise sauce gently.
Notes
- Can be prepared the night before for a hassle-free brunch.
- Using different types of cheese can customize the flavor.
- Do not microwave the hollandaise sauce; reheating in a bowl of hot water is recommended.
