Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 6 pieces English Muffins Toast beforehand to prevent sogginess.
  • 12 large Eggs Liquid egg substitutes can work if needed.
  • 2 cups Ham Can be swapped with bacon or sautéed veggies.
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Consider half-and-half for a lighter option.
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Hollandaise Sauce High-quality store-bought varieties can save time.
For the Garnish
  • 1 bunch Green Onions Chives or finely chopped shallots can be alternatives.

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • mixing bowl
  • toaster or oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the English muffins into bite-sized cubes and toasting them until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes in a toaster or oven. Layer the cubes into a greased baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 12 eggs, 2 cups of heavy cream, and seasonings like salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
  3. Pour the egg mixture over the toasted English muffins, ensuring every piece gets well-coated. Distribute diced ham and chopped green onions evenly over the top.
  4. Cover the casserole tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 40-50 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Insert a knife into the center to check for doneness.
  6. Prepare your hollandaise sauce while the casserole is baking, then drizzle it over the casserole upon serving.

Notes

To avoid sogginess, always toast the English muffins before assembling the casserole. Fresh eggs yield the best flavor and texture. It's best enjoyed fresh and not frozen.
