Eggs Benedict Casserole has all the flavor you love from the classic dish, mixed into one super tasty breakfast casserole. I developed this casserole to be an easy eggs benedict recipe made with English muffins, filled with ham, and topped off with a simple sauce. I find it’s an easier way to make a classic breakfast that everyone loves, and I love it for Mother’s Day or Easter brunch.

What’s in This Eggs Benedict Casserole Recipe?

If I can turn something into a casserole, you bet I will! And I must say, this eggs Benedict casserole turned out beautifully. It’s so much simpler than making individual portions. You get the same great taste, enough to serve about 10 people, all made in one casserole dish. Easy! Note to my husband: this is what I want made for me for Mother’s Day breakfast in bed!!

  • Unsalted Butter: Adds moisture and richness to the casserole and helps keep it from sticking to the pan.
  • English Muffins: The classic base for eggs Benedict, using them as the base of this casserole makes so much sense!
  • Black Forest Ham: Adds a salty and umami element to the casserole.
  • Eggs: You’ll need 16 eggs– yes, 16!– to make this delicious casserole.
  • Milk + Cream: A combination of milk and heavy cream adds moisture to the casserole.
  • Spices: Garlic powder, grated nutmeg, dried mustard, salt, pepper, and sweet paprika enhance the flavor of this casserole.
  • Hollandaise Sauce: This recipe for blender Hollandaise sauce is so simple and so delicious– perfect for drizzling over this yummy casserole!

Variations To Try

This casserole is so fun to experiment with. I’ve made it with bacon instead of ham (so good!), but Canadian bacon, lump crab meat, or smoked salmon would also be delish! Or skip the meat altogether and add sautéed spinach or mushrooms for a vegetarian version.

Serving Suggestions

This easy eggs Benedict casserole is the perfect Mother’s Day Brunch recipe, and it’s great for Easter too! It wouldn’t be complete without the Hollandaise sauce!

That creamy, lemony sauce absolutely makes the recipe, and this casserole wouldn’t be quite right without it. It’s even more fun when you set up a homemade bellini bar for the occasion!

Notes from the Test Kitchen

This breakfast casserole is surprisingly simple. You can get up in the morning, spend about 15-20 minutes putting this together, and then let it bake. It’s the perfect thing to make for breakfast when hosting guests, or when you have family over for the holidays.

I would love to try this recipe but in our home we have cholesterol issues. Can egg substitutes be used instead of the 16 eggs and if so how much?

Hi Rosemary, unfortunately, we do not have much experience with egg substitutes in recipes where the primary ingredient is eggs. We’d encourage you to seek out a cholesterol-specific blog for possible substitutes!

Sounds awesome, but before I make this….Just wondering about the English muffin part. I under the ingredient list are you counting 1 English muffin as a full one….so 2 halves? Or are you counting English muffin as one side of one? Sounds confusing, I know. 1 full English muffin has 2 parts,
Would make big difference depending on which way in your ingredient list5 stars
