Eggs Benny Casserole

Eggs Benedict may be my very favorite dish of all time (jury’s still out). I just love the combination of a runny yolk, ham, hollandaise and a English muffin. But serving it to my whole family at once is a nightmare. And, yes, I have 1000% turned my husband and kids into Eggs Benny lovers too. So they all love it too, but it is so so so much work. Poaching a dozen eggs while making the hollandaise and having every one’s plate come out hot and ready….I’m not little caesers. So I have been racking my brain for ways to still enjoy all the elements without all the work. And Eggs Benny Casserole was born.

So you might be saying – where is the runny egg? Will the beauty of stacking the muffins and pouring the eggs over top is that you get half soft almost french toast style muffing and half crunchy muffin. So while it is not a classic eggs benedict – you still get all of the elements.

This was a whole lot of food for my family of six. But if you want it to go farther or you have all adults, you could add some hashbrowns, or country potatoes. You could also do some fresh fruit on the side.
