Ingredients
- 1 package (6-8) English muffins, torn into pieces
- 1 lb Canadian beef, sliced
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
- For the Hollandaise Sauce:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- For the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer torn English muffins evenly at the bottom of the dish.
- Arrange Canadian beef slices over the muffins.
- Make the egg mixture: Whisk eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the muffins and beef, pressing down slightly.
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden and set.
- For the Hollandaise Sauce: Melt butter over low heat. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour warm butter into egg mixture while whisking constantly until thickened. Add warm water if needed for desired consistency.
- Serve: Pour hollandaise over the baked casserole and garnish with chives. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make it ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before and bake in the morning.
- Spicy Option: Add cayenne pepper to the hollandaise sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes over the casserole for extra heat.
- Dairy-free: Use non-dairy milk and dairy-free butter for a dairy-free version.
