Ingredients

For the casserole

  • 6 English muffins, torn or chopped into small pieces
  • 1 pound bacon, chopped into 1 inch pieces and cooked until crispy (substitute chopped ham or Canadian bacon if desired)
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups half and half or milk (I used 1 cup heavy cream and 1 cup milk)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Hollandaise Sauce

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (one stick)
  • large pinch salt

Instructions

  • Grease a 2 ½ quart casserole dish with butter.
  • In a mixing bowl whixk together the eggs, half and half (or milk), onion powder, paprika, and salt.
  • Layer the torn English muffins and bacon in the casserole dish, pour the egg mixture over the muffins and bacon. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the eggs are set, 15-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly while you make the Hollandaise sauce.
  • Bring a small amount of water to a simmer in a pot. In a heat-proof bowl that will fit over the pot, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until thick and creamy. Place the bowl over the simmering water and continue to whisk while slowly pouring in the melted butter. Continue to whisk until the sauce is thick and creamy. Remove from the heat and whisk in the salt. Serve on the side with the casserole.
