Quick and Easy Baked Eggs Benedict

I love, love, love eggs Benedict! Do you? The hollandaise is what really makes it so yummy to me.

However, I don’t really enjoy making eggs benedict because there are just so many components. While I’m trying to poach the eggs, I’m also trying to toast the English muffins, while trying not to scramble the eggs in the Hollandaise sauce. I have failed one too many times!

I have seen different versions of blender Hollandaise sauce floating around the Internet, and I also came across an eggs benedict casserole. So this weekend, I tried this quick and easy version myself. It turned out to be super easy and super delicious.

The part that was my favorite was that I popped this into the oven, and then my husband and I ran an errand for a half hour. When we got back, the kitchen was smelling heavenly, and we just got to sit down an eat. And since there were a few leftovers, I had it for breakfast the next day, too. Try it! You’ll love it!

Note: I try to eat a low-carb diet because I have type 1 diabetes. If you’d like to keep this low-carb, use Ezekiel 4:9 English muffins or bread in place of regular English muffins.
