This eggs benedict breakfast bake is a welcome and attractive addition to any breakfast buffet. and that’s the beauty of it. conventional eggs benedict isn't always a dish without problems made for a crowd. at the least i’ve by no means attempted it. i have an difficulty with the feel of runny yolks. i feel like my meals blogger card wishes to be revoked for that or something. but attempt as i would, i simply don’t enjoy poached eggs. so turning eggs benedict right into a casserole solves that hassle for me and creates a display-stopper dish for you!
A phrase approximately the english muffins i used. we have a nearby baker (blue oven bakery) right here in cincinnati that makes the maximum wonderful english muffins i’ve ever eaten. they're the dimensions of as a minimum of the standard grocery save variety. and the flavor and texture of those desserts are in another universe. they may be pillowy tender, earthy, a little tangy and so clean tasting. they absolutely make this breakfast bake first rate. general english cakes i assume could be higher reduce into cubes to layer along the lowest of the casserole dish. i will be specific about that within the recipe beneath.

Instructions
- Cut your English muffins into cubes. Spread on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for a few minutes to brown them lightly.
- Generously butter (2 tablespoons) a casserole dish and spread the toasted English muffin cubes into the bottom of the dish.

- Top the ham layer evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, mustard, salt and cayenne and evenly pour the mixture over the rest of the bake ingredients.
- Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnight. You could instead bake this right away instead of refrigerating it.
- Remove the dish from the refrigerator about an hour before you plan to bake it the next day.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake the casserole for 30 minutes, covered with foil.
- Remove the foil and continue to bake for another 15 - 20 minutes, or until the dish is looking puffed and the top is browning.
- While the casserole is baking place the egg yolks, lemon juice and salt in a blender. Blend on high for a few seconds. Set the blender to low and through the hole in the middle of your blender lid, pour the melted butter in a very slow steam into the egg yolk mixture. Cover the hole and blend the hollandaise on high speed for about 1 minute. Taste, add a little more lemon and salt if needed, and serve immediately with the breakfast bake.
