McMuffin Casserole - all the flavors of an Egg McMuffin in a breakfast casserole. Make the casserole before bed and bake it in the morning. Canadian bacon, english muffins, cheddar cheese, eggs, and milk. Try it with syrup - yum! Great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Can easily double the recipe for potlucks and holiday mornings! #breakfast #casserole #freezermeal #canadianbacon #eggs
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.
Bake at 325ºF for 45 to 50 minutes.
Notes:
I used Bays English Muffins - my favorite. They are found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, near the milk.If you are short on time you can make this and refrigerate it as long as possible or not at all. Refrigerating the casserole overnight helps soften the english muffins.You can assemble the casserole and freeze it unbaked for later. When you are ready to bake it, thaw it out completely in the refrigerator and bake as directed.You can use ham, bacon or sausage if you prefer.You can easily double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13-inch dish. You may need to increase the baking time 5 or 10 minutes.
