MAKE-AHEAD EGGS BENEDICT CASSEROLE

Make-Ahead Eggs Benedict Casserole image

This clever egg bake takes its flavor and ingredient cues from classic Eggs Benedict-think English muffins, Canadian bacon, eggs, herbs and hollandaise. We simply cut out the fuss of making individual servings in favor of a crowd-friendly casserole format. It might just be the most impressive breakfast casserole ever-and it can even be made ahead!
