Whether you’re hosting brunch or craving a comforting breakfast, this savory casserole is sure to impress. Try our Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole recipe and elevate your breakfast game! While this easy breakfast recipe is sponsored by Florida Milk, my love of more time with my family on Christmas morning and less time in the kitchen and Florida Milk are my own.
The holiday season is here and as much as we all love the hustle and bustle of this festive time of year it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by all of the things piling up on your to-do list. There are presents to be wrapped, events to be attended, hosting to be done, and that’s all before we even get to Christmas morning!
So let’s talk about what you can do to make Christmas morning super special AND stress-free this year! I want your holidays to be amazing this year. Christmas morning is always hectic. There are gifts to be unwrapped, breakfast to be served, and dinner to be prepared before friends and family arrive.
So let’s eliminate some of that Christmas morning stress by having breakfast prepared ahead of time! This Eggs Benedict Casserole is made a day ahead of time, or at least 8 hours, so that all of the ingredients can meld together for a delicious, hot breakfast the next day.
Ingredients for Casserole Eggs Benedict
To make your Eggs Benedict casserole you just need eggs, Florida Milk, Canadian bacon, English muffins, hollandaise sauce and a few seasonings. Easy peasy!
How do you make Eggs Benedict Casserole
You simply layer the ingredients into your favorite casserole dish, cover and refrigerate for at least hours. Then on Christmas morning, bake this deliciousness for about an hour at 375 degrees! The sauce is ready in just minutes and you’ll drizzle that one top right before serving with a glass of Florida Milk.
Eggs Benedict Casserole Variations
If you don’t have, or don’t like Canadian bacon you can use diced ham, or cooked bacon that has been chopped up in this casserole.
How do you store Overnight Eggs Benedict Leftovers?
You can keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. My guess is that you won’t have any leftovers though π
Here are some other fun brunch ideas for Christmas morning or any day:
Homemade Waffles
Homemade waffles are so easy to make and they are great for feeding a crowd. You can still make them ahead of time so there is no work for you on Christmas morning and just set out a variety of toppings. Toppings might include smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers, chicken and syrup, sliced cheese, avocado, and tomato.
Waffles are great because they can be sweet or savory and if you are feeding a crowd it gives them the option to choose. Fresh fruit, whipped cream, eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheese are some other popular waffle topping options.
Frittata
If you have eggs and Florida milk you can make a tasty frittata for breakfast! Frittatas are amazing because you can put absolutely anything in them and still wind up with a tasty meal. Leftover veggies from the fridge? Toss them right in. Leftover sausage, bacon, or ham you need to use? Throw them right in there!
Making a frittata is easy, just gather your ingredients, and saute your veggies and any meat in a skillet. Add the veggies and meats to your milk and egg mixture, pour it in a pan and bake until your eggs are set.
Candy Cane Fruit and Cream Cheese Danish
If you want to include something sweet on your Christmas breakfast table then this adorable candy cane fruit and cream cheese danish might be perfect. All you need for this cute candy cane danish is a can of crescent rolls, some cherry pie filling, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and Florida milk. You might have all of these ingredients in your holiday pantry already!
Shape your crescent roll to look like a candy cane and mix your cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla together and spread it over your crescent rolls. Top the cream cheese mixture with your pie filling and use the remaining crescent rolls for “stripes” on your candy cane. Bake until done and drizzle icing over the top while it’s still hot. This is a tasty and festive treat for breakfast or dessert around the holidays!
Do yourself a favor this holiday season and make your Christmas morning breakfast ahead of time. Enjoy the time spent with friends and family without having to worry about what you are going to serve everyone! So, let’s make breakfast shall we?
