English Muffin Breakfast Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Generously grease the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut the English muffins into 1-inch cubes. (Do not halve them horizontally as you would normally for the toaster.) Place the cubes on a sheet pan and bake until lightly toasted, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a medium or large skillet over medium-high. Add the sausage and scallions, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper and cook, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is evenly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Meanwhile, add the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to large bowl; whisk to combine.
• To assemble, sprinkle half of the sausage, then half of the cheese onto the bottom of the baking dish. Add the English muffin cubes on top in one even layer. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the pan, pressing down lightly to make sure all the bread is moistened. Top with remaining sausage and cheese. Wrap well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour up to overnight.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the casserole until puffed and cooked through, about 40 minutes. (It may need a few more minutes, if your casserole has been in the refrigerator overnight.) Cool for 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.

Steps:

• For the casserole: Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the butter.
• Split the English muffins open. Shingle the English muffins split-sides up in the baking dish in 2 rows, alternating tops and bottoms. Place 1 slice of Canadian bacon in between each piece.
• Whisk together the milk, cream, nutmeg, salt, pepper and eggs in a medium bowl until well combined. Pour the custard over the top of the English muffins, then cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours or up to overnight. (See Cook's Note.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the plastic wrap from the casserole dish and replace with foil. Bake 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake until the casserole is set and the English muffins and bacon have browned on the edges, an additional 30 minutes.
• For the hollandaise sauce: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the yolks, lemon juice, salt and cayenne to a blender and blend for 1 minute. With the blender running, pour the melted butter very slowly through the open hole of the blender lid.
• For the poached eggs: Fill a large saucepan with 2 quarts water. Add the vinegar and bring to a steady simmer over medium-high heat.
• Crack 4 eggs into small cups or glasses. (If your simmering water has reduced too much, add a bit more water and bring back to a steady simmer.) Slip the eggs into the water in one quick motion. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Repeat with 4 more eggs.
• Arrange 4 eggs on each side of the baked casserole. Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the top and sprinkle with the chives. Serve while still warm with extra hollandaise sauce on the side. (If the sauce has thickened too much, whisk it with a tablespoon of water.)

Steps:

• Cook ground sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease.
• Spread torn English muffin pieces along the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Layer cooked sausage, onions, bell peppers, and Cheddar cheese over English muffin pieces.
• Combine eggs, milk, basil, and pepper in a bowl; whisk until well combined. Pour egg mixture into the baking dish. Gently press down on top of the casserole mixture with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Uncover casserole and bake in the preheated oven until casserole is set and eggs are cooked, about 35 minutes. Check by inserting a knife. Let cool for 15 minutes before eating.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in sausage. Cook and stir until sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
• Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Spread butter on the inside of each English muffin half. Arrange buttered English muffins in the prepared baking dish; top with half the sausage, half the Cheddar cheese, and half the mozzarella cheese.
• Whisk eggs, sour cream, and green chilies together in a large bowl; pour evenly over sausage and cheese layer. Top with remaining sausage, Cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Cover and chill for 8 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake strata in the preheated oven until lightly browned and set in the middle, about 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Lightly mist a round 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Halve each piece of English muffin and arrange it cut-side down in the baking dish in an overlapping shingled pattern. Tuck the ham between the layers. Sprinkle the scallions and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar over top.
• Whisk the milk, mustard and eggs until combined in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Discard the plastic wrap and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the casserole. Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the eggs are set and the edges are lightly browned, about 1 hour. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Arrange English muffin halves in the bottom of a greased 9- x 13-inch baking dish, cutting them to fit, if necessary; set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and liquid is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon tomato mixture over the top of the English muffins, distributing it evenly; set aside to let cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Pour evenly over tomato mixture, then sprinkle with basil. Cover and chill overnight.
• Set dish aside at room temperature for 1 hour and preheat oven to 350°F Sprinkle casserole with cheese and bake, uncovered, until puffed, cooked through and cheese is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat Panini Press.
• Cook eggs as for an omelet.
• Place one side of english muffin cut side up on work surface.
• Top each with 1 slice cheese, cooked egg whites, then turkey sausage.
• Top with other half of english muffin and place on panini press.
• Close and bake for 3-4 minutes.
• Let rest of 2-3 minutes and enjoy!
