Egg & Bacon McMuffin Casserole Egg Bake

The Egg & Bacon McMuffin Casserole Egg Bake blends chunks of toasted English muffins, crisp bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and a seasoned egg and milk custard baked until golden. The soaking of bread in the egg base and baking offers a soft but structured texture akin to a breakfast strata, with crispy edges and savory flavor from the bacon and cheese.

Ingredients

  • 6 egg
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper (black works just as well but will be visible in the bake)
  • 1 pound Bacon (I use thick cut, but use whatever your favorite is)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (I put a half a pound in chunks in my food processor and it gave me perfect little bits)
  • 6 English muffins I use Wolferman's, If you use a smaller variety like Thomas, you will need more, Probably 12, large

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spray an 9x9 inch baking pan with canola oil.
  3. Cook the bacon until a little browned but not crispy. Remember we are going to bake this in the oven too!
  4. Slice a sliver of the top of the english muffin.
  5. Dip both sides of the english muffin in bacon grease (totally optional, or you can use butter if you would like) and cut into 1 inch chunks.
  6. bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until crispy.
  7. While the English muffins are baking, cut bacon into chunks.
  8. Mix the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a bowl or measuring cup.
  9. Lay the sliced edges of the muffins down first (this makes for a nice crispy bottom) and then add the chunks of english muffins.
  10. Add the egg mixture over the bread chunks and sprinkle on the bacon and cheese.
  11. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until browned.
  12. Wait about 5-10 minutes before cutting.
  13. Enjoy with maple syrup or even ketchup (don't judge me!)
