A rich, creamy, and smoky brunch casserole that combines the flavors of eggs benedict in a fuss-free baked dish, perfect for gatherings or a cozy weekend treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, preferably room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 6 oz (170 g) smoked salmon, sliced into bite-size pieces
  • 4 English muffins, cut into halves or quarters
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Fresh dill or chives, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Cut the English muffins into quarters or halves. Brush each piece lightly with melted butter and spread evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth. Add eggs, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and whisk until smooth and velvety.
  4. Scatter the smoked salmon evenly over the buttered English muffins. Optionally, fold some salmon into the egg mixture for extra flavor.
  5. Pour the egg and cream mixture gently over the muffins and salmon, pressing down lightly to help muffins soak up the custard. Sprinkle sliced green onions on top if using.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are puffed and golden and the center is set but slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh dill or chives if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and cream cheese for a smooth custard without lumps. Brush muffins well with butter to prevent sogginess. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Assemble ahead and refrigerate overnight for convenience. Use good quality smoked salmon for best flavor. For gluten-free, substitute English muffins with gluten-free bread or thinly sliced sweet potatoes.
