A lot of people get intimidated by this sauce, but it only takes a few ingredients and is super simple to make.
How To Make Hollandaise Sauce
- You can make this sauce by using a blender or an immersion blender.
- Melt the ghee in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds. This ghee needs to be hot and not just warm.
- Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, Franks Hot Sauce, salt and cayenne pepper into a high powered blender. Blend for 10 seconds. (If you are using an immersion blender, add the ingredients to a wide mouth mason jar and blend for 10 seconds).
- Slowly pour in the hot ghee into the mixture as the blender is running on medium speed.
Eggs Benedict Casserole Ingredients:
- Eggs
- Asparagus
- Onions
- Garlic
- Bacon
- Ghee
- Olive oil
- Salt/pepper
- Franks Hot Sauce
- Lemon juice
Casserole Quick Tips:
- Sauté the veggies: Sauté the asparagus, onion and garlic before adding it to the eggs. This adds a ton of flavor and texture to the eggs.
- Make it ahead of time. Feel free to make the egg mixture ahead. Add the egg mixture to a baking dish and cover and add to the fridge. Remove and add to the oven when ready to eat.
- Make into muffins: If you want to make these into mini muffins, feel free to add the mixture to muffin tins instead of a casserole dish.
- Meal Prep:This is a perfect meal prep option. Make this casserole on Sunday and cut into square size servings and use as breakfast and lunch meals throughout the week.
If you are looking for the perfect breakfast or brunch casserole, look no further. This Eggs Benedict Casserole is extremely simple, full of flavor and can even serve as a great meal prep option for a busy week.

- Transfer the sauteéd veggies into the beaten eggs and whisk together until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the 9X13" baking dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes.
- About 10 minutes before the casserole is finished cooking, make the hollandaise sauce below.

Hollandaise Sauce
- Add 3 egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, hot sauce and cayenne pepper to a mason jar.
- Heat ½ cup ghee over low heat until completely melted.
- Add a little bit of the melted ghee to the mason jar and use an immersion blender on high speed to start blending together. Slowly (really slowly) pour the rest of the melted ghee in the jar as you are blending. As you blend, the sauce will begin to thicken.
- Note: If you do not have an immersion blender, do all of the steps with a regular blender.

Happened to have all the ingredients on hand for this Saturday morning, so made it just now! Yummy! added a splash of fresh basil on top. but really this recipe is perfect the way it is
YAY! This makes me happy. So glad it was a hit. I also love the basil addition. So yummy
How well will this heat up? Would this work for meal prepping?
Hi Shirley……..don’t think I’ve tried reheating this or using in meal prep. If you choose to try this and have great results, I would so appreciate you getting back to me so I can share in the blog. Have a great weekend!!
This is amazing. We just made it for the week. Used ham since we had it leftover and a little extra lemon in the sauce because we love it lemony. It is SO good. This will definitely go into the meal planning rotation – definitely a different type of breakfast casserole.
So happy to hear this. Thank you
Hi. Thank you for sharing this recipe! I’m excited to make it. I’m curious about pan size. It says 8×8 or 9×13. Do you make a bigger amount to use a 9×13 or what do you suggest I guess! 😀
This recipe will work in either container. Of course it will be thicker in the 8×8, but will still work in a 9×13
All the flavors you want and its soooo good! Easy to whip up too! Definitely will make again.
YAY! So happy to hear Megan!
