A creamy, smoky, and satisfying casserole that captures the essence of classic Eggs Benedict without the fuss, perfect for brunch or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces smoked salmon, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup milk or half-and-half (240 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 halves English muffins or 3-4 slices day-old bread, cubed (optional, can use gluten-free bread)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your casserole dish with melted butter, coating the sides to prevent sticking.
  2. Cube the English muffins or day-old bread into bite-sized pieces and spread evenly in the casserole dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs and 1 cup of milk or half-and-half until smooth.
  4. Add 4 ounces of softened cream cheese in dollops, then whisk again until fully incorporated with no lumps.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, and 2 sliced green onions.
  6. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Gently fold in the 8 ounces of smoked salmon pieces, spreading them evenly throughout the egg mixture.
  8. Pour the mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring the bread is well coated but not swimming.
  9. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the casserole puffs slightly and edges turn light golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out mostly clean but slightly moist.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.

Notes

If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover the casserole with foil halfway through baking. Resting the casserole after baking helps it set and makes slicing easier. Use day-old bread for better texture or substitute with sautéed spinach or cauliflower rice for a low-carb version. For dairy-free, use plant-based cream cheese and coconut or almond milk.
