Head to the kitchen and grab…
- Eggs – You’ll need 8 eggs for this recipe and more for the homemade sauce.
- Bacon – For perfectly crispy bacon every time, I make instant pot bacon. For this recipe, chopped bacon works best and make sure to drain any excess grease.
- English muffins – Canyon bakehouse gluten-free english muffins are my favorite for this gluten-free egg Benedict. Although you can use your favorite type of english muffin.
- Heavy cream – Using heavy cream in addition to milk adds a creamier taste and texture.
- Milk – Do not swap for almond milk or another plant based milk.
- Butter
- Spices – Onion powder, fresh chives, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika are my go-to’s but feel free to add your favorite seasoning or fresh herbs.
For the hollandaise sauce…
- Egg yolks
- Butter – You can use salted or unsalted butter.
- Cream – Just like the casserole, heavy cream makes this sauce, well, creamy!
- Lemon juice – For that classic hollandaise taste.
- Seasoning – A touch of dijon and cayenne pepper adds smoky notes that everyone loves.
How to make a gluten free egg Benedict casserole
Step 1: Prepare
Cut the english muffins into small cubes and place them on a greased casserole dish along with the bacon.
Step 2: Whisk
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the remaining casserole ingredients together then pour over the toasted english muffins and bacon.
Step 3: Cook
After the casserole has refrigerated, bake it uncovered for 35 minutes, and then uncovered until golden brown.
Step 4: Serve
Serve with your own hollandaise sauce. (See recipe card for sauce instructions).
Pro tip: Toasting your bread before baking allows the bread to maintain its shape and texture while still soaking up the egg mixture.
Tips for success
- Let the casserole rest – After the dish is done baking, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set and the flavors to come together.
- Use stale bread – Using stale bread or english muffins is a great way to prevent food waste and take this recipe to the next level. Like my french toast casserole, this recipe actually works best with 2-day old bread.
- Add some spice – If you’re a fan of spicy foods, try adding some hot sauce, red pepper flakes, Tabasco sauce, etc. to the egg mixture before baking. This is an easy way to add a flavor element.
Storage
Storing – You can store this casserole in the fridge for 2-3 days. Make sure that the casserole is cooled to room temperature before storing. Reheat in the oven or microwave and top with more creamy hollandaise sauce.
Freezing – Freeze this casserole before or after baking for up to 3 months. If you choose to freeze the recipe before baking, let it thaw in the fridge overnight before baking.
