If the pain of poaching eggs keeps you from making Benedicts for a crowd, we have a delicious solution: Eggs Benedict Casserole. The recipe combines the best elements of the breakfast classic—perfectly cooked eggs, hearty Canadian bacon, and buttery English muffins—into a crowd-pleasing casserole served with decadent Hollandaise sauce. Read on to find out why it deserves a place on any breakfast or holiday brunch spread and beyond.
What Is Eggs Benedict Casserole?
The recipe, submitted by Allrecipes community member alycimo, features English muffins, Canadian bacon, and a green onion-studded egg mixture layered in a 9×13-inch dish. Drizzling slices of the baked casserole with a quick Hollandaise sauce (made from a packaged mix!) makes a rich and filling early-day meal.
Since the recipe skips poaching eggs and making a from-scratch Hollandaise sauce—a warm, creamy emulsion of egg yolks, butter, and seasonings—it’s a shortcut version of eggs Benedict designed to feed a hungry group.
How To Make Eggs Benedict Casserole

Cut the Canadian bacon and English muffins into half-inch pieces, then whisk the milk, eggs, green onions, onion powder, and salt together in a large bowl until well combined. Sprinkle half of the Canadian bacon on the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish. Cover with the English muffin chunks, then top with more Canadian bacon and pour the egg mixture over everything. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
When you’re ready to serve the casserole, sprinkle the top with a little paprika, cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake in a preheated 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the eggs are completely set, about 15 minutes more. While the casserole finishes cooking, make the sauce on the stovetop with the Hollandaise sauce mix, milk, and butter.
Serve your Eggs Benedict Casserole with a fresh side, such as Brunch Spinach Salad or Blueberry-Pineapple Salad with Creamy Yogurt Dressing. For something heartier, add a platter of Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes or balance the savory with something sweet, like Easy French Toast Casserole.
