- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups (480ml) milk
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Hollandaise Sauce:
- 3 large egg yolks
- ½ cup (120g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt to taste
Optional Garnishes:

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Casserole Base
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spread the cubed and toasted English muffins evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Scatter the diced Canadian bacon or ham over the English muffin cubes.
Step 2: Make the Egg Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the English muffins and bacon in the baking dish.
- Press down gently to ensure the bread soaks up the custard.
Step 3: Chill the Casserole
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 4: Bake the Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
Step 5: Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce
- While the casserole bakes, prepare the hollandaise sauce. In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper (if using) until smooth.
- Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
- Gradually whisk in the melted butter, a little at a time, until the sauce is thick and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
Step 6: Assemble and Serve
- Drizzle the hollandaise sauce generously over the baked casserole.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, paprika, or green onions as desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
