Ingredients

For the casserole
  • 5 large eggs
  • 6 English muffins, split and cut into cubes
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 tsp. salt & pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • pinch paprika & onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp. softened butter (to grease the pan)
  • 6 oz. Canadian bacon, diced and divided
For the hollandaise
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 15 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the English muffins into cubes and place in a medium-large bowl.
  2. Whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper nutmeg, paprika and onion powder and pour this custard over the English muffins. Let soak for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, grease an 8x8 inch glass baking dish with softened butter.
  4. Sprinkle half of the Canadian bacon down into prepared pan.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  6. Pour soaked English muffins into the pan, followed by the remaining Canadian bacon.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes with the foil on, and for 10-15 minutes with the foil off or until the casserole is set and the top has slightly browned.
  8. Make the hollandaise right before serving: melt the butter in a saucepan on the stove on medium-low heat if it’s not already melted. Set aside.
  9. Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon, salt and cayenne pepper to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, ~30 seconds.
  10. With the blender running, very slowly pour in the melted butter in.
  11. Pour the hollandaise overtop the casserole, pouring as much as desired (as you can see from the photos we like a like of hollandaise!) Garnish with chives, serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Overnight instructions: place the English muffins and custard in the prepared baking dish, cover with foil or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, remove the casserole from the fridge. Preheat your oven and bake as directed.
