- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Sauce
- 1 cup Hollandaise sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
- Mix Eggs and Seasonings: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard until fully combined and smooth.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and layer the toasted English muffins evenly on the bottom.

- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the seasoned egg mixture evenly over the muffins and bacon, ensuring everything is well soaked.
- Top with Cheese and Parsley: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the top for added flavor and color.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to set the structure for easier serving.
- Add Hollandaise Sauce: Drizzle the Hollandaise sauce evenly over individual servings of the warm casserole just before serving for a classic finishing touch.
Notes
- Use store-bought or homemade Hollandaise sauce based on preference and convenience.
- Ensure the English muffins are toasted to avoid sogginess in the casserole.
- Feel free to substitute Canadian bacon with ham or smoked sausage for variations.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave for best texture retention.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
