- 3/4 lb Canadian bacon, diced
- 6 English muffins, diced
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Hollandaise Sauce:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 0.9 oz packet hollandaise sauce mix
- 1/4 cup butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, chopped green onions, onion powder, and salt until well combined.
- Layer the Ingredients: Spread half of the diced Canadian bacon evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add all the diced English muffins on top. Then layer the remaining Canadian bacon over the muffins.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients, ensuring even coverage.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- Bake the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the dish from the refrigerator and uncover. Bake for 30 minutes covered with foil, then uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden and set.
- Prepare Hollandaise Sauce: While the casserole bakes, combine the milk, hollandaise sauce mix, and butter in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring continuously until thickened.
- Serve: Slice the casserole into portions, drizzle each with the prepared hollandaise sauce, and serve warm.
Notes

- You can prepare the hollandaise sauce ahead of time and reheat gently before serving.
