FAQ's

How long can easy eggs benedict casserole be refrigerated before being baked?

This casserole can be refrigerated for up to 12 hours before being baked.

Why should I bake egg casserole covered with foil?

Covering your egg casserole with foil helps to keep the top from getting too brown while baking.

Why is it called eggs benedict?

It was reportedly named after Mrs. LeGrand Benedict one of the customers at Delmonico's restaurant in New York City in the late 19th century. It's believed that she asked the chef to make her something different, and thus eggs benedict was made.

Things to know

  • Be sure to spray your casserole dish well with nonstick cooking spray, or you can grease it with butter or shortening.
  • I like to garnish this easy casserole with fresh parsley, sliced green onions, fresh chives, or sliced avocado for a fresh touch and a nice pop of color.
  • Try to get the chopped english muffins into equal sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • If you don't have half and half on hand, you can use heavy cream instead.
  • If you are in a hurry, you can assemble this casserole and place it in the oven right away.

Variations

  • Instead of using English muffin pieces, you could also use croissants, biscuits, hash browns, or sourdough bread in this recipe.
  • Switch out the uncured Canadian bacon for ham, or cooked regular bacon for a twist on this dish.
  • You could also add some vegetables such as sundried tomatoes or spinach to this casserole version of the traditional dish.
  • Add a touch of heat to this dish by adding a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • If you don't have shallots on hand, you can use onions or onion powder to add a little extra flavor to this breakfast bake.
  • If you want to add more flavor add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of Dijon mustard to the egg mixture.

Storage

Refrigerate - Leftovers of this casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freezer - The casserole can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Make sure it is well wrapped and sealed with plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing in the freezer.

Reheat - Heat in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes or until warm. Or reheat in a 350˚F oven covered with aluminum foil for 15-20 minutes. Make sure that you pre-heat the oven first.
