Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare the Casserole:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Assemble the Casserole:
- Layer the bottom of the baking dish with English muffin chunks. Top with Canadian bacon slices.
- Crack 6 eggs over the casserole, spacing them evenly.
- Make the Custard:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the milk, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, heating until warm but not boiling.
- Pour the milk mixture over the casserole, covering all the ingredients.
- Bake the Casserole:
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the casserole is golden brown.
- Make the Hollandaise Sauce:
- In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard together.
- Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) and whisk until thickened. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and cayenne pepper, if desired.
- Serve:
- Remove the casserole from the oven and drizzle with the homemade hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra richness, you can top the casserole with more shredded cheese before baking.
- You can prepare the casserole the night before, refrigerate it overnight, and bake it in the morning.
- Hollandaise sauce can be tricky, so make sure to whisk constantly to avoid curdling.
