Make this easy Keto Eggs Benedict Casserole for a satisfying, high-fat breakfast or brunch. This recipe replaces traditional bread with a low-carb base and features a rich, homemade hollandaise sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Canadian bacon or thick-cut ham slices
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (optional layer)
  • For the Keto Hollandaise Sauce:
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Pinch of salt and cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Line the bottom of the prepared dish with the Canadian bacon or ham slices, creating a solid base layer.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ham layer in the baking dish.
  5. If using cheese, sprinkle the Swiss cheese over the top of the egg mixture.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the center is firm.
  7. While the casserole bakes, prepare the hollandaise sauce. Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and cayenne pepper in a blender.
  8. With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the hot melted butter until the sauce is thick and emulsified. Do not overheat the butter or the sauce may break.
  9. Once the casserole is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  10. Serve each portion topped generously with the fresh keto hollandaise sauce.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead keto brunch, assemble the casserole completely (without baking) and cover it tightly. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer a runnier yolk texture, slightly underbake the casserole (around 22 minutes) and allow it to finish setting with residual heat.
  • You can substitute the ham base with 6 slices of toasted low-carb bread placed on the bottom if you desire a bread-like texture.
