Eggs Benedict Breakfast Bake (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ For the Casserole

01 - 2 cups whole milk
02 - 8 large eggs
03 - 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
04 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
05 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
06 - 340 grams (¾ pound) Canadian bacon, diced
07 - 6 English muffins, diced
08 - ½ teaspoon paprika

→ For the Hollandaise Sauce

09 - 1 cup whole milk
10 - 1 packet (0.9 ounces) Hollandaise sauce mix
11 - ¼ cup unsalted butter

# How to Make It:

01 - Grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk, eggs, green onions, onion powder, and salt until smooth and well combined.
03 - Scatter half of the diced Canadian bacon evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish. Spread all diced English muffins on top, then layer with remaining Canadian bacon.
04 - Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish. Sprinkle with paprika for color and flavor.
05 - Cover the dish tightly and refrigerate overnight to allow the custard to absorb into the bread.
06 - Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake the covered casserole for 30 minutes, then uncover and continue baking an additional 15 minutes or until golden and set in the center.
07 - While casserole bakes, combine 1 cup milk, Hollandaise sauce mix, and butter in a small saucepan. Whisk over medium heat, simmering until sauce thickens and becomes silky.
08 - Slice the baked casserole and drizzle each portion with warm Hollandaise sauce. Present immediately while hot.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Chilling the assembled casserole overnight ensures the English muffins fully absorb the custard, resulting in a richer and more cohesive texture.
02 - For a from-scratch Hollandaise, substitute the packet with your preferred homemade recipe if desired.
