Time for breakfast! When I go out for breakfast my favorite thing to order is eggs benedict. I always think of it as dish that I treat myself to when I am out because poaching eggs for everyone in the morning isn't always doable when I have two hungry kiddos at my kitchen counter. Enter Eggs Benedict Casserole. A casserole that makes my out for breakfast dish into a family friendly dish.
This casserole is so simple, and I love the ease it has when it comes together. I use chopped english muffins, eggs, whole milk, canadian bacon, and a few seasonings. The casserole sits overnight so it creates a creamy and custardy texture. I cut my canadian bacon in bite sized pieces so it is the perfect size to get a few in each bite.
Eggs benedict isn't complete with out a good hollandaise sauce. This recipe adds a little heavy cream, and is smooth as velvet. I love a nice big squeeze of lemon to my sauce, and this certainly checks that box!
I know hollandaise sauce can feel a bit intimidating, but don't let it freak you out. If you haven't made it before I would make sure that you have a little extra ingredients on hand if you need a practice batch! The trick is to get the yolks to coat the back of the spoon and then add the butter. Once the butter is added the sauce gets nice and thick.

That pour of hollandaise still gets me. Yum!
All that I need with this meal is a bloody mary or a mimosa. For me, I love a spicy bloody mary with a pickle, or I really love a mimosa made with ½ grapefruit juice and ½ orange juice (trust me- it is a must try). What are your must have breakfast cocktails?
This weekend we are celebrating the start of spring break! The kids and I enjoyed a movie yesterday, and today feasting on corned beef and cabbage with my parents. I am really excited to have some extra time with the kiddos, and to prepare for a fun spring sweets event next week!
