Eggs Benedict Casserole
A hearty and healthy casserole inspired by classic Eggs Benedict, perfect for an easy and delicious brunch.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Large Bowl
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 8 large Eggs whisked
- 8 ounces Canadian bacon chopped
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese shredded and divided
- 2 tablespoons fresh Chives chopped
- 1 medium head Cauliflower (about 5 cups florets), cut into small florets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Hollandaise sauce (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a cozy 400°F (204°C).
- First, let's get that cauliflower golden! In a large bowl, gently toss the small cauliflower florets with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until they're nicely coated. Spread them out in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until they're beautifully golden and slightly caramelized. Keep the oven hot!
- While your cauliflower roasts, whisk those 8 large eggs in a big bowl until they're light and airy.
- Once the cauliflower is ready, spread it evenly at the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. This is your wholesome, veggie-packed base!
- Carefully pour the whisked eggs over the roasted cauliflower. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs. Then, scatter the chopped Canadian bacon on top, followed by the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese.
- Bake this delightful casserole for 18-20 minutes. You'll know it's done when the eggs are fully set, and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- While the casserole bakes, quickly prepare your hollandaise sauce if you're making it from scratch, so it’s fresh and ready.
- Once out of the oven, let your casserole cool for about 10 minutes. This helps it set perfectly for easy slicing.
- Finally, drizzle generously with the creamy hollandaise sauce and sprinkle with fresh chopped chives for that finishing touch. Serve warm and enjoy your effortlessly healthy brunch!
