Print Recipe

A fuss-free, comforting casserole that captures the classic Eggs Benedict flavors with a creamy custard, ham, and a tangy hollandaise-inspired sauce. Perfect for Mother’s Day brunch or any special morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 English muffins, cut into 1-inch cubes (day-old or slightly stale)
  • 12 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for extra creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 12 ounces cooked ham, diced (preferably smoked)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or Gruyère)
  • Chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

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. Spread the English muffin cubes evenly across the baking dish. Scatter the diced ham on top evenly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and Dijon mustard until completely blended and slightly frothy. Pour this mixture evenly over the bread and ham, pressing gently with a spatula to help the bread soak up the custard. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Pour the sauce evenly over the soaked casserole base, then sprinkle the shredded cheese liberally on top.
  6. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If edges brown too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for even cooking. Let bread soak in custard for at least 10 minutes. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Leftovers reheat best in oven, not microwave. Variations include vegetarian (swap ham for mushrooms/spinach), gluten-free (use gluten-free bread), and dairy-free (use plant-based milk and cheese).
