This overnight eggs Benedict casserole is easy to make ahead for brunch, a special occasion, or even for house guests.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
Hollandaise Sauce
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (.9 ounce) package Hollandaise sauce mix
- ¼ cup butter
Casserole
- 2 cups milk
- 8 large eggs
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ pound Canadian bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 6 English muffins, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
Directions
Step 1
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
Prepare casserole: Whisk together milk, eggs, green onions, onion powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Layer 1/2 of the Canadian bacon in the prepared baking dish. Cover with English muffins. Top with remaining Canadian bacon, then pour egg mixture over everything. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 5
Remove plastic wrap from the baking dish. Sprinkle casserole with paprika and cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are nearly set, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until eggs are completely set, about 15 minutes more.
Step 7
When casserole is almost finished baking, make sauce: Whisk together remaining milk and Hollandaise sauce mix in a saucepan over medium heat. Add butter; cook, stirring frequently, until boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute.
Step 8
Slice casserole into 10 pieces. Drizzle warm sauce over each piece.

My family loved this recipe! I did not buy enough canadian bacon so I used left over deli ham. It would be good with any leftover ham! I also used 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt instead of the onion powder and salt. I also sprinkled shredded cheese over the top. It came out great and will be making it again!

I was really hopeful about this recipe because we adore Eggs Benedict..and for a crowd, the idea of a casserole sounded sublime. It was super easy to prepare this casserole, which is a huge plus. It certainly tasted fine….just not like traditional Eggs Benedict. Not bad…just not quite the same.

Made this twice huge hits both times. I think making real hollindaise is worth the time. Second time I fried up the diced Canadian bacon before assembling. The scallion adds a nice layer to the dish.
Served this w Gilda’s French toast bake with blueberries great combo for all. -

5 stars for the idea alone (for anyone that loves eggs bene)! I added some diced potato/onion, used diced deli ham (always on hand), added garlic salt and shredded cheese blend before pouring on the eggs. Note that after adding the eggs….proportions didn’t look right and I was worried I’d have a top-half crunchy casserole, but after baking, it was perfect. Then discovered….and couldn’t believe….that my hollandaise sauce was gone! Had to whip up a country gravy…thereby ruining the benedict effect…but next time…hollandaise all around please! Good with the changes I had to make…good place to start with ANY of your breakfast-favorite add-ins. I’m sure it’ll be even better with the right sauce!

This was tasty – but then again, just about anything is with hollandaise sauce. For those who expected this to be exactly like eggs benedict, what did you expect? It is a casserole! If you are expecting an easy, overnight breakfast casserole for a crowd, this will be just that. Much better than standing at the stove all morning poaching eggs! We served our sauce on the side. Enjoy!

Yum! I had a LOT of extra ham so used that, I did use 2 deep foil pans so when I took it out, was not quite set. Put the pans back in the onen covered at 400 and it took another 15 min… basically would leave it in covered for 45 min if you use the foil pans (costco). Omitted the green onions, added fresh lemon juice to the hollandaise, and sprinked the smoked paprika on top… but fed the footbal crew and even the picky guys loved it…thanks!

Just served this for Christmas morning breakfast. The immediate comments were that it looked so beautiful. Someone said it looked like a picture out of a magazine. I made it exactly as stated in the recipe. I would not “ruin” it by adding cheese to it, as some reviewers have suggested. Let the hollandaise sauce shine thru, for something special and different. The ONLY suggestion I would make for improving it would be to make homemade hollandaise sauce—it is just that much better than the packaged variety and is not much more difficult than making the packaged kind (both you have to whisk it and watch it carefully on the stove as it thickens). So, the packaged variety doesn’t really save you that much work.

I made this recipe for Christmas breakfast 2013 after seeing it in the current AR magazine. This was a real hit! I would definitely make this again. I think I probably used a pound of Canadian bacon because I had 2 small packages in the freezer and used what I had on hand. I’m sure a fresh made Hollandaise would be better, but there was nothing wrong with the packaged mix I used and I’d definitely use it again. Super easy to prep when you have limited time on hand!

I didn’t do it overnight but loved the idea of Eggs Benedict Casserole. Followed the recipe and yumm!! Next time I will tear up all the Canadian Bacon and mix with the English Muffins. The bottom layer got a little tough. Also added some asparagus. Thanks for a good one!!! Delish on Xmas morning!
Made reduced version overnight. 4 mini eng muffins, 3 eggs, 3/4 c milk in 9″ pan. Great. Could up to 5 *4*1.

I loved the concept, but please make your own hollandaise. I’ve never tried the powdered mix, and whipped it up and it was not good to me–I couldn’t bear pouring it over my hard work! Use ‘Blender Hollandaise’ from this site and you’ll get much better results and taste. The casserole was okay, I guess I just like a lot more ‘stuff’ in my egg casseroles. Maybe some hot pepper sauce in the egg mixture along with some kind of cheese. I love regular eggs Benedict, and the right hollandaise makes this recipe.

I have made the recipe many times for very large groups of people. Everyone always loves it. The only thing I changes was the layering. I did layer of all the english muffins, all the Canadian bacon then poured custard mixture over. This recipe also freezes (after baked) and reheats well.

Greatly exceeded expectations. While it can’t compete with the real thing, it was a perfect addition to our Easter Brunch. Made homemade hollandaise which I recommend.
I used smoked salmon instead of Canadian bacon, because I was also serving ham with the meal. This worked well.

had overnight guests and they loved it! We have learned that we detest all packaged hollandaise sauces EXCEPT Knorr Brand Hollandaise and we usually add a teaspoon or two of fresh lemon juice to it if we have lemons in the house. (I tried making hollandaise from scratch and actually PREFER the Knorr stuff. Crazy huh?) One thing we always include in our eggs benedict is steamed broccoli florets. Steamed the broccoli for about 5 minutes, sprinkled it with a little garlic salt and lemon pepper before adding to the casserole. Served that yummy sauce on the side. I must not have done a very good job with the cooking spray because I did have some trouble with sticking. So it isn’t our beloved eggs benedict that we will always consider quite special but what it is we enjoyed very much and it freed me up to relax and visit with our guests! Tasty with hash browns, chilled canned pears and maybe even a bloody mary! YUM!

This was a huge hit Christmas morning! I did a little less English Muffin, and added some dijon and lemon to the hollandaise mix. Couldn’t even tell it was from a package. We also used some delicious locally raised ham. Got several compliments it was the best breakfast casserole they’ve ever had!

Made this for Christmas breakfast buffet, and everyone enjoyed it as written. Then for Christmas breakfast at home, changed it up a bit. Used a pound of bacon, fried, and chopped in place of the Canadian bacon. Used 5 green onions, replaced onion powder and salt with 1-1/2 tsp of onion salt, and added fairly generous dashes of black pepper. When finishing, used real butter instead of margarine, and added 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of lemon juice to the hollandaise sauce before pouring it over the casserole. We liked it even better this way, and hash browns and orange juice made this complete. Another tip for leftovers – serve hollandaise sauce on the side so everyone can add the amount they want, and then put remainder in frig with main casserole leftovers. When reheating, heat separately, and both will seem fresher than if refrigerated and heated as one dish.

This was disappointing. No flavor of English muffins and no piquant tang you usually get from the Hollandaise. Recommendations to make your own Hollandaise would certainly make it better but if I’m going to do that, I might as well make real Eggs Benedict. This was my first Allrecipes flop.

This recipe is very good and very easy. I tried it as is and really enjoyed it. Then I did it again with one modification. Whether I make Hollandaise from scratch or a package, I add a little lemon juice. (Typically about 1/2 tsp for a relatively small batch.) It gives it just a little kick.

I will make this again but with some changes. The casserole itself was a little bland. I think I might add more Canadian bacon and maybe some vegetables like mushrooms and asparagus. I will make my own sauce. Making it from scratch may be extra work but well worth the effort.

I have made this several times. One time I even served it for a dinner to a group of friends with a salad. Everyone raves about! I have made it with cubed ham and that was great. Also, I bought two packages of Knorr’s hollandaise sauce mixes for anyone who wanted to add more. Next time I will make my own sauce as it’s easy enough.
PS… use butter!

Was good. A bit bland without some tweaks. Put a pinch of cayenne or pepper flakes, mustard if you like a kick in the egg mix. I also like to brown the ham for a fuller bodied flavor.
For gal who called margarine hydrogenated…check labels. I use Becel olive oil margarine which is non-hydrogenated and for those of us concerned about out cholesterol I think it is an ok choice.
I have tried all the packaged hollandaises available in my large grocery stores and my choice is International brand. I use less marg/butter, add a good squeeze of fresh lemon and a little hot sauce to taste. To make the sauce thinner and make up for cutting the fat, thin with hot water. My family loves it made this way. -

This was a hit at a breakfast themed dinner party, I received rave reviews from everyone. I did not use packet hollandaise sauce but made my own with 6 egg yolks, 1/2 C butter 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice and salt to taste, added a little milk to get a thinner consistency since it sat for 40 minutes before I used it.

This is an amazing casserole. I followed the recipe with a few additions, but I believe even if I had followed the recipe exactly it would have been good. I made blender hollandaise from scratch and I toasted the English muffins first and then buttered them before cutting them. I believe toasting and buttering the muffins first added a new dimension of texture and flavor to the casserole.

This was delicious and I made it as stated in the recipe. I did used multi-grain light English muffins and I substituted yogurt for the butter in the hollandaise sauce mix. Served it at Christmas breakfast for the family gathering and it disappeared! That says it all right there.

We loved it. I made it as written, since I think it is unfair to rate a recipe if you never even tried it as written.
That being said, I made it on Christmas Eve afternoon and popped it in the oven Christmas day. It was so easy and a big hit. It was actually better after it cooled off and the eggs had a chance to rest with the Hollandaise. Definitely a keeper. Thank you for sharing!

I’ve made this several times for large gatherings. Everyone always raves about how good it is! Make real hollandaise sauce from scratch, it’s SOOO much better than the packaged kind. Also, I have found that using Canadian bacon, it kind of dries out and gets extra chewy. I like to use whole ham that I dice up. Last time I made it, I cut up asparagus and added it to the casserole. great recipe!!!

Super good and way easier than Eggs Benedict (although you can’t replace eggs Benedict). This is a keeper for sure! Seems fancy and difficult when it is very easy! I only had half the amount of Canadian bacon it called for so I added some cooked regular bacon. I think it needs the Canadian bacon, for sure, but this was also good!

This was delicious! I used diced ham instead of Canadian bacon, and followed another reviewer’s advice to make the blender hollandaise sauce (also on this site) instead of using packaged. There was very little left over, which was just as good reheated the next morning. I will definitely make this again.

I made this recipe as written with 2 modifications. I omitted the onion powder and added extra green onion. I used whole wheat english muffins. I found this dish has far too much bread. Everyone at our brunch felt the same way. If I make it again I will use half the english muffins.

We made this the night before, for Easter morning Brunch! DELISH!!! Ours cooked a little too brown on the bottom, my hint is to check it around 22-25 min, if it’s pulling away from the sides and the top is crispy brown then it’s done! We used Knorr packaged Hollandaise, it was a perfect!

04-02-16 ~ Great recipe to use up extra English muffins. I had everything on hand and made it up the night before and popped it in the oven the following morning. I made ‘Quick & Easy Hollandaise Sauce in the Microwave’ to go on the top. Great casserole, and this recipe will come in handy at the lake, this summer.
