Description

This Eggs Benedict Casserole Recipe (No Pork Version) is a savory, make-ahead breakfast dish that captures all the flavors of traditional eggs benedict—without using pork. Instead of Canadian bacon, we use delicious, pork-free alternatives like turkey ham, smoked chicken, or sautéed mushrooms for a hearty, satisfying twist. It's perfect for brunch, holidays, or cozy weekends at home!

Ingredients
    For the Casserole Base:
  • 6 pcs English muffins, split and cubed
  • 350 g turkey ham or smoked chicken breast, diced (or sautéed mushrooms for vegetarian)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp paprika (optional)
    • For the Hollandaise Sauce:
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and warm)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
    • For Garnish (Optional):
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp paprika or smoked paprika
  • Chives or green onions, finely chopped

    Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice in a bowl. Place over simmering water and whisk constantly until thickened. Slowly drizzle in the warm butter, whisking to emulsify. Add salt and cayenne.

Note

No Pork Option Ideas: Try turkey ham, smoked chicken, beef pastrami, or sautéed veggies.

Vegetarian Option: Replace meat with sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or roasted red peppers.

Storage: Keeps well in fridge 3 days. Reheat in oven or microwave.

Hollandaise Shortcut: Store-bought sauce is fine, but homemade is richer.

Serving Tip: Pair with a light salad or fruit for a full brunch spread.
