Brunch just got a whole lot easier (and a little more luxe)!
There’s something special about a beautiful breakfast or brunch that makes a morning feel a little more magical But when you’re hosting family for the holidays, celebrating a special occasion or simply trying to enjoy a slow weekend morning, the last thing you want to do is spend the entire morning cooking over the stove.
That’s where this Easy Eggs Benedict Casserole comes in!
It has all the delicious flavors of a classic Eggs Benedict; savory Canadian bacon, soft English muffins, fluffy baked eggs and creamy hollandaise sauce. But without all the fuss.
The best part? You assemble everything the night before, cover it, then let it sit in your refrigerator overnight. In the morning, simply pop it in the oven and let it bake while you enjoy your coffee (and get everything else ready, lol).

Tips for the Best Make-Ahead Breakfast Casserole
Give it time to soak. Refrigerating the casserole overnight allows the English muffins to absorb the egg mixture and helps the flavors come together.
Make the Hollandaise easy. My Super Simple Hollandaise Sauce recipe can also be made a day ahead and tastes so much better than store bought.
Serve it fresh and warm. This casserole tastes best when it is warm. Be sure to top with the sauce just before serving so it doesn’t get soggy.

If you’re planning a simple brunch spread, this casserole pairs beautifully with fresh fruit, breakfast potatoes or a green salad.
For a fancier holiday brunch, add fresh coffee, a mimosa and/or hot chocolate bar and a few sweet pastries. You will have a breakfast spread that feels special without making your morning complicated.
