Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 English muffins, cut into cubes
  • 8 slices Canadian bacon, chopped
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups whole milk (480 ml)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115 g), melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (100 g)
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Spread cubed English muffins evenly in the dish, then layer chopped Canadian bacon and shredded Swiss cheese on top.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, melted butter, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the muffin and bacon layers. Press gently to ensure muffins soak up the liquid.
  5. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
  6. (Optional) Prepare hollandaise sauce by whisking egg yolks, lemon juice, and white vinegar over gentle heat while slowly adding melted butter until thick and velvety.
  7. Remove casserole from fridge and bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden and custard is set but slightly wobbly in the center.
  8. Let casserole rest for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
  9. Serve warm with a generous drizzle of hollandaise sauce and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for smooth custard. Do not overbake; the casserole should be slightly jiggly in the center when done. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Overnight soak is key for creamy texture. Hollandaise sauce can be made fresh or substituted with store-bought.
