Eggs Benedict Breakfast Bake

Step-by-Step Directions
1. Prepare the Base
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish. Arrange the toasted English muffins in a single layer in the dish. If needed, cut them to fit snugly. Layer the Canadian bacon or ham evenly over the muffins.

2. Make the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the muffin and bacon layers in the baking dish, making sure everything is evenly coated.

3. Add the Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the egg mixture. This adds a rich, gooey layer that brings the whole dish together.

4. Bake
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are set, and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

5. Garnish and Serve
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle with paprika and freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
