A Simple Homemade Breakfast Sandwich

This is a classic breakfast sandwich with a few upgrades (hello herbs and cream!) plus a few simple swaps to make them faster (using stovetop scrambled eggs and pre-cooked meat like deli ham).

They are a classic morning comfort food and make a super satisfying lazy Saturday morning breakfast. They don't require any special cooking skill, and they are one of those breakfasts that everyone can agree on.

Plus I've shared lots of other options to switch them up including various filling ideas and cooking methods because this is the ever-so-versatile breakfast sandwich after all.

The key to the recipe is just that you don't walk away while they are toasting under the broiler and forget about them. I think we all have at least one memory of doing that to that blackened piece of garlic bread or what not. These are much too good to be wasted to charring.

It's easier than you'd think. Maybe a bit time consuming with several steps, but once you get the hang of it and can multi-task a bit you'll want to make them time and time again!

The casserole itself is really easy to make (the sauce just requires a little more patience with all the constant whisking). For the casserole you just mix up a quick seasoned custard pour it over the English muffin and Canadian bacon base then just let it rest in the fridge overnight and so it has plenty of time to soak.

Then the following morning take it out of the fridge and warm up the oven and bake it. Who doesn't love a good make-ahead recipe. Especially on an early morning.

If you haven't had eggs Benedict before this is the perfect place to start, and then you might just always go this route anyway since you can cook so many servings together at once - and of course because it's perfectly delicious!

There aren't many casseroles that I love and want to make again and again but this one makes the cut.
