Print Recipe

A creamy, cheesy, and savory casserole that captures the classic flavors of Eggs Benedict in an easy-to-make dish perfect for brunches and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 English muffins, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces deli ham, chopped
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups milk or half-and-half (480 ml)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (200 grams)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Toast the English muffins lightly in a skillet or toaster oven until just golden. Cut into bite-sized pieces and spread evenly in the baking dish.
  3. Scatter the chopped ham evenly over the muffin pieces.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or half-and-half, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving about 1/4 cup (25 grams) to sprinkle on top later.
  6. Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the ham and muffin pieces. Gently press down with a spatula to soak everything without crushing.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top.
  8. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed, golden on top, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley for a fresh pop of color.

Notes

Toast English muffins before assembling to prevent sogginess. Whisk eggs mixture until frothy for a lighter texture. Mayonnaise adds richness similar to hollandaise sauce. Let casserole rest before slicing to avoid runny texture. Cover with foil if top browns too quickly. Can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning. Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat in oven for best texture.
