There is just something special about this Easy Eggs Benedict Casserole. It feels fancy, indulgent, and perfect for a slow weekend brunch. But let’s be honest — standing over the stove, poaching eggs one by one, isn’t exactly relaxing.
That’s why I love making this Eggs Benedict Casserole version instead.
It has all the classic flavors you expect — toasted English muffins, perfectly poached eggs, savory Canadian bacon, and rich homemade hollandaise — but everything cooks in the oven at once. It’s simple, beautiful, and perfect for feeding a crowd without the stress.
Whether you’re hosting Easter brunch, Mother’s Day, Christmas morning, or just want to elevate your Sunday breakfast, this recipe makes it easy.
If you love poached eggs, be sure to check out my recipe for Easy Oven Baked Poached Eggs. You can also make these Baked Avocado Eggs, and it is literally a poached egg inside an avocado.
No poached egg should be left bare. It always needs hollandaise, and my 3-ingredient hollandaise is pure perfection and comes together in minutes.
Ingredients
For the casserole:
- English muffins, split in half
- Large eggs (one per muffin half)
- Canadian bacon, diced
For topping:
- Homemade hollandaise sauce
- Fresh chopped chives or parsley
Simple ingredients, classic flavor.
How to Make Eggs Benedict Casserole
Step 1: Prep the English Muffins
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Lay the split English muffins open-faced in a single layer on a cookie sheet or baking dish. Using a biscuit cutter, small glass, or knife, cut a hole in the center of each muffin half. Make the hole large enough to hold an egg without it spilling over too much.
Step 2: Add the Eggs
Carefully crack one egg into the center of each muffin half.
If you want more control, crack the egg into a small bowl first, then gently pour it into the muffin well.
Step 3: Bake
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs cooked:
- 10 minutes – runny yolk
- 12–13 minutes – soft, jammy center
- 14–15 minutes – fully set
Keep an eye on them since ovens can vary.
Step 4: Cook the Canadian Bacon
While the eggs are baking, dice up your Canadian bacon and cook it in a skillet over medium heat. It only takes a few minutes to warm through and get lightly browned around the edges.
That little bit of browning adds so much flavor.
Step 5: Assemble
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove them from the oven.
Sprinkle the warm, diced Canadian bacon evenly over the top of each baked egg.
Then drizzle generously with homemade hollandaise sauce and finish with freshly chopped chives or parsley for that classic Eggs Benedict look.
Serve the eggs Benedict casserole immediately while everything is warm and beautiful.
