Delicious Overnight Option: Eggs Benedict Casserole
Hi there, connoisseurs of breakfast! For everyone of you who longs for a tasty and easy morning breakfast, here is the recipe. Presenting a burst of taste in a casserole dish: the Eggs Benedict Casserole!
The reasons behind my love of overnight brunches
To tell the truth, mornings are not always easy. For the days you simply want to get a filling breakfast without spending hours in the kitchen, this dish is a godsend. Wake up to a ready-made masterpiece if you prepare everything the night before!
Unbelievably simple and delicious
Convenient as it is, this dish is quite delicious. A creamy egg mixture bakes layers of fluffy English muffins and savoury Canadian bacon (or ham!) to resemble quiche. The hollandaise sauce, however, is what really makes this dish shine—a zesty, delectable drizzle. Every mouthful is a delicious harmony of sour, acidic, and creamy tastes.
The components that work magic
The simplicity of this dish should not deceive you. These commonplace items brought together produce a breakfast masterpiece:
- Our savory deliciousness starts with tender and tasty Canadian bacon, often known as ham.
- English Muffins: The casserole is built on top of these fluffy muffins, which absorb all of the wonderful flavors.
- Eggs: Give everything a custardy texture and hold it all together.
- Adds an opulent richness to every mouthful is heavy cream, or half and half.
- Taste-test the salt and pepper!
The creamy crown gem is called Hollandaise Sauce.
The dish really is elevated by this sauce. You’ll want the following:
- Rich and silky sauce is made with egg yolks and butter.
- Perfectly smooths and thickens the sauce with heavy cream.
- Best for that bright, zesty taste is freshly squeezed lemon juice. In a hurry, bottled juice works.
- A key component of the traditional hollandaise taste is dijon mustard.
- Butter: Everything comes together and is richer with blended butter.
Putting together your work of art
All of this dish is about layers. Here is how to work your morning magic:
- Get the pan ready.Brush a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with oil.
- Start with half of the Canadian bacon, then top with the cut English muffins and the remaining bacon.
- To whisk the wet stuff, combine the eggs, milk, pepper, and salt in a big basin. Spoon this mixture over the pan’s stacked contents.
- For best flavour infusion, cover the dish and chill it over night.
Expert baking:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake covered for 35 minutes.
- Discover then carry on:Once the foil is off, bake for a further ten to fifteen minutes, or until a knife put close to the middle comes out clean (a few crumbs are OK, but no wet batter).
Hollandaise magic
Work up the hollandaise sauce while the dish bakes. The move is this:
- Beat everything together: Beat egg yolks, cream, lemon juice, and mustard well in a double boiler or a metal dish set over hot water. Stirring continuously, the mixture will thicken to the point where it coats the back of a spoon.
- Butter me up: Turn down the heat to low and gradually whisk in the melted butter.
Finally, the big show
Spoon the warm hollandaise sauce over your stunning dish. Serve straight away and, if desired, garnish with chopped parsley. Savor your easy and tasty morning!
