Eggs Benedict Casserole

Hi! If you’re visiting today looking for the Facebook LIVE Eggs Benedict Casserole class with Kristi and me, just go to my Facebook page today (Thursday December 22, 2016) at 4 pm CST and we’ll be waiting for you!

I’ve talked about my friend, Kristi, a lot. Her cuteness, her cooking, her Sephora smarts.

She’s pretty much a domestic genius. I think you’ll agree when you taste this recipe.

Kristi’s Egg Benedict Casserole

Grease a large (deep) pan. Cube  10-12 ounces Canadian bacon and 6 English muffins.

Distribute evenly.

Beat: 8  large eggs, 2 c. milk, and 1 t. onion powder. Spread evenly over the muffin/bacon mixture.

At this point, you can bake but it’s better if you let it sit in fridge overnight (8 hours) to soak up egg mixture.

While the casserole is baking, prepare the Hollandaise sauce. And THIS is what makes this breakfast casserole taste AMAZING!

Melt 1 stick of butter. Allow to cool slightly. In a small bowl, beat 4 egg yolks. Then add butter and beat again. Next, add 1/2 cup heavy cream and 2 T. lemon juice. Stir well. Heat the mixture in microwave for 1 – 2 minutes until thick, beating every 20 seconds. Finally, stir 1 t. Dijon mustard.

I love the Hollandaise sauce. I licked the bowl. I am not exaggerating about the deliciousness. Matter of fact, you could make this sauce and dribble it over just about anything: Asparagus, your finger, pasta. It’s just that good.

 This is a really nice presentation. A step up from traditional breakfast casserole but just as easy. Try it this Christmas morning. You’ll be glad you did!
