Eggs Benedict Casserole
Eggs benedict is a quintessential brunch dish. But it can be tricky to prepare for a crowd like if you’re hosting Easter brunch or trying to feed your whole extended family before opening presents on Christmas morning. We’re big fans of make ahead brunch recipes for that reason because you can do the prep work, throw it in the oven, and then enjoy time with your loved ones. So we turned the traditional egg dish into a delicious Eggs Benedict Casserole.

Eggs Benedict Casserole Recipe Tips:
+ We kept this recipe based on the traditional eggs benedict, but you could easily add in your favorite toppings here. Fresh jalapeños, diced onion, mushrooms, spinach, and fresh herbs are all great add ins.
+ Leftovers of this dish warm up wonderfully! Store the casserole and the hollandaise separately in airtight containers. Then, warm up the casserole in the microwave with a wet paper towel over the top. Warm up the hollandaise and drizzle over the casserole. Enjoy!
