easy Eggs Benedict Casserole idea

I created this eggs benedict casserole one Sunday morning when I wanted to serve something special for brunch without standing over the stove making individual portions so I layered bread, eggs, bacon, and hollandaise sauce into one dish. The smell while baking was incredible, and when I served it, everyone loved how creamy and indulgent it tasted.

Since then this casserole has become my favorite dish to make for gatherings because it has all the flavors of classic eggs benedict but with half the effort. It’s rich, cheesy, and the perfect centerpiece for any brunch table.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!

• Bread – Cubed, forms the base that soaks up all the delicious flavors.
• Eggs – Light and fluffy, they hold the casserole together.
• Milk – Adds creaminess to the egg mixture.
• Cooked bacon – Crispy and savory, a must for that classic flavor.
• Cheese – Melts into the casserole for added richness.
• Hollandaise sauce – Creamy and tangy, drizzled on top for the perfect finish.
• Butter – Adds richness and helps brown the top beautifully.
• Fresh parsley – For a pop of color and freshness.
• Salt and pepper – To season the egg mixture perfectly.
• Tools You’ll Need
• Baking dish – To assemble and bake the casserole.
• Mixing bowl – For whisking the eggs and milk.
• Whisk – To mix the egg base smoothly.
• Knife – For chopping bread and bacon.
• Saucepan – For warming or preparing hollandaise sauce.

Instructions

Step 1:

I start by preheating my oven to 375°F to make sure it’s ready for baking.

Step 2:

I cut the bread into cubes and spread them evenly in a greased baking dish.

Step 3:

In a mixing bowl I whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper then pour the mixture over the bread.

Step 4:

I sprinkle cooked bacon and shredded cheese over the top, making sure it’s evenly distributed.

Step 5:

I bake the casserole for 35 to 40 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Step 6:

Finally I drizzle warm hollandaise sauce over the baked casserole and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips

I sometimes prepare the casserole the night before and bake it in the morning to save time. You can also add diced ham or Canadian bacon for a traditional twist. If you love extra flavor, sprinkle a little paprika on top before baking.
