This is one of the best breakfast casseroles that we've made. It has all the flavors of an Egg McMuffin in casserole form. This casserole is assembled in minutes the night before and baked when you are ready. I used Bays English Muffins - my favorite. They are found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, near the milk.
Chicken Legs loved this. He wanted me to contact McDonald's and get them to add it to their menu! I agreed that this was great. I am not a fan of McMuffins, but I loved this casserole. Chicken Legs added syrup to his second piece to make this a McGriddle Casserole.

Grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Cube English muffins and chop Canadian bacon. Add half of the cubed English muffins in a single layer. Top with half of the Canadian bacon and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Layer the remaining English muffins and Canadian bacon and 1/2 cup more cheese.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole. Wrap the baking dish with plastic wrap and place refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 1 day.

McMuffins are my weakness!!! This looks soooooo good!!!
I always get the egg mcmuffin!
What a great idea. I have been looking for recipes like this to save on stopping every morning for an egg mcmuffin. I am going to need to make this ASAP. Do you have any suggestions with reheating? I also started a food blog and would love if you took a look and offered any comments you may have! http://shansthecollegecookbook.blogspot.com/
I am now walking along hotels near green park to get English muffins since that's the closest I can get with this amazing recipe. This is a delight to see!
There's this great muffin house just right across the broadbeach resort cottage we have rented this summer. However, I would never miss out on this delicious recipe you have posted. How do you do these amazing recipes, anyway? Impressive!
I'm making this one plus doing it with sausage since I like sausage mic muffins better.
Great idea Bretta! I am going to try that next time. I like sausage mcmuffins better too.
I tried your recipe and this came close to the muffin I tasted from a catering company in Australia. It's unbelievably delicious, I can't believe I would be capable of doing it (with the help of your recipe of course). Thank you so much!

This is looking so fine. It seems like an easy casserole to make and since I have bacon and ham on stock, I might as well try my cooking skills. Wish me luck!

I've always wanted to learn how to cook or bake. I'm planning on enrolling my kids in music classes this summer, so I have spare time in my hands. I'd probably do some learning to do too. -Cadence
Looks and sounds right up my alley! Everything I have made from Plain Chicken is always delicious and easy, thanks!

I have yet to make any of your recipes I pin (which a good portion of my food board is!) but I love Egg McMuffins & am rarely up and out of the house in time to get them, so this will definitely have to be a recipe to try soon! I look forward to it; I only read good things about your recipes in comments- seems like they're all pretty good!
