Ingredients

6–8 English muffins, halved and toasted
8 ounces turkey bacon
8 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1 cup hollandaise sauce (homemade or store-bought)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley), for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Layer Muffins and Bacon
Place half of the toasted English muffin halves in an even layer at the bottom of the dish. Top with the turkey bacon, distributing evenly.
Mix the Egg Base
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Assemble the Casserole
Pour the egg mixture over the muffins and bacon. Drizzle the hollandaise sauce evenly on top.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–40 minutes, or until the casserole is fully set. The center should no longer jiggle when gently shaken.
Rest and Garnish
Allow the casserole to rest for about 10 minutes after baking. Garnish with finely chopped chives or parsley, then slice and serve warm.

Variations

Use Canadian bacon, regular bacon, or sausage instead of turkey bacon
Swap whole milk for half-and-half or dairy-free milk for different richness levels
Make it vegetarian by replacing turkey bacon with grilled mushrooms or spinach
Add a cheese layer—cheddar or gruyère pairs beautifully with hollandaise
Stir in sautéed veggies like bell peppers or onions for extra texture and flavor

Heating and Storage

Storage
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating
Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven until warmed through. A splash of milk helps maintain moisture.

Freezing
This casserole freezes well. Bake as directed, cool, then wrap and freeze for up to one month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I assemble it the night before?

Absolutely. Simply refrigerate the prepared casserole (without baking), then bake it fresh in the morning.

Can I use low-fat milk?

Yes, but the casserole will be slightly less creamy.

Is store-bought hollandaise okay?

Sure—store-bought is a great shortcut, though homemade adds a richer, fresher flavor.

What’s the best way to reheat for a crisp top?

Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes to restore texture.

Can I bake this in round or square pans?

Yes, just keep an eye on baking time—deeper dishes may require a bit longer.

Can I add cheese?

Definitely! Stir in shredded cheese before baking for a melty layer beneath the hollandaise.

Is turkey bacon healthier than regular?

Turkey bacon contains less fat than pork bacon, though sodium levels can be similar—check the brand.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes; just substitute gluten-free bread for the English muffins.

How can I get a custard-like texture?

Use real whole milk or half-and-half and don’t overbake—just until the center is set.

How big are the servings?

This yields about 8 generous servings, depending on how you slice it.
