Gaines Eggs Benedict (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Casserole

01 - ¾ pound Canadian bacon, diced into ½-inch pieces

02 - 3 chopped green onion stalks

03 - 2 cups of milk

04 - 8 eggs, large

05 - ½ teaspoon of paprika powder

06 - 1 teaspoon of salt

07 - 1 teaspoon of onion powder

08 - 6 English muffins, diced into ½-inch cubes

→ Hollandaise Sauce

09 - 1 (0.9-ounce) packet of Hollandaise sauce mix

10 - 1 cup dairy milk

11 - ¼ cup butter

# Instructions:

01 - Lightly oil or spray a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) pan with butter or cooking spray.

02 - Mix eggs, milk, onion powder, green onions, and salt in a big bowl until smooth.

03 - Put half of the Canadian bacon pieces in the pan you prepped. Arrange the diced English muffins over that layer, then spread the rest of the bacon on top. Pour the egg mixture on evenly to soak it all.

04 - Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and stick it in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight.

05 - Turn your oven on to 375°F / 190°C right before baking.

06 - Take off the plastic cover, sprinkle the paprika across the top, and wrap the pan with foil. Bake for 30 minutes covered, then uncover and bake for another 15 minutes, until eggs are firm.

07 - During baking, stir up milk and Hollandaise mix in a pot over medium heat. Toss in the butter and keep stirring till it boils. Lower the heat to medium-low, stir for another minute, and let it thicken.

08 - Cut the casserole into 10 pieces. Place on plates and pour the warm Hollandaise sauce over each slice just before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Pick fresh ingredients like eggs, milk, and bacon for top-notch taste and fluffy texture.

02 - Chop your muffins and bacon cubes evenly so everything cooks at the same rate and feels balanced in every bite.

03 - Leaving the dish in the fridge a while helps the egg mixture soak perfectly into the bread.

04 - Start baking with foil on—it keeps the casserole moist and stops the top from hardening too soon.

05 - Make the Hollandaise right before you’re about to serve. Warm sauce adds the perfect finishing touch.
