Ingredients

Scale

Main Casserole

  • 12 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup diced cooked ham (or Canadian bacon)
  • 1 package (12 oz) English muffins, split and toasted, then cut into cubes

Hollandaise Sauce

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and cayenne pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Prepare the Casserole Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until combined. Stir in the shredded Swiss cheese and diced ham to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
  3. Combine with English Muffins: Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Evenly layer the toasted English muffin cubes across the bottom. Pour the egg and ham mixture over the muffin cubes, making sure every piece is coated. Gently press down to compact the mixture slightly for even baking.
  4. Bake the Casserole: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until the center is set and the top turns lightly golden brown.
  5. Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce: While the casserole bakes, melt the butter slowly over low heat. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and fresh lemon juice vigorously until the mixture thickens and becomes pale, about two minutes. Gradually whisk in the melted butter, maintaining a smooth, creamy consistency. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Keep the sauce warm until serving.
  6. Serve the Casserole: After baking, allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes. Cut into squares and drizzle generously with the warm Hollandaise sauce. Garnish each serving with freshly chopped chives for a burst of flavor and color. Enjoy your delicious brunch!

Notes

  • You can substitute ham with Canadian bacon or turkey for a leaner option.
  • To save time, use pre-shredded Swiss cheese and pre-cooked ham from the deli section.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute English muffins with gluten-free bread cubes.
  • Be cautious while making Hollandaise sauce to avoid scrambling the egg yolks by whisking continuously and adding butter slowly.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or dill can be used as an alternative garnish to chives.
