Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup diced ham
Dairy and Cheese:
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- ½ cup hollandaise sauce
Bread and Seasonings:
- 1 package English muffins, torn into pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Tear 1 package of English muffins into roughly 1-inch chunks, creating rustic pieces that will absorb the egg mixture.
- Scatter 1 cup of diced ham evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a savory base layer.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the ham, ensuring uniform coverage.
- Whisk 8 eggs with 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon paprika until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Distribute the torn English muffin pieces across the ham and cheese, creating an uneven but complete layer.
- Slowly pour the seasoned egg mixture over the entire dish, making sure all muffin pieces get saturated.
- Position the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F for exactly 35 minutes, checking that the center is firm and golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes to allow the eggs to set completely.
- Drizzle ½ cup of hollandaise sauce across the top just before serving, creating elegant zigzag patterns.
Notes
- Use day-old English muffins for better texture and to prevent soggy results.
- Swap ham with Canadian bacon, smoked salmon, or crispy bacon for different flavor profiles.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set and make serving easier.
- For a gluten-free version, replace English muffins with gluten-free bread or hash browns.
