Eggs Benedict Casserole
serves 12
Here’s a casserole as tasty as Eggs Benedict, but without the hassle. Simply assemble the ingredients ahead, and bake it the next morning for an elegant breakfast or brunch.

3/4 pound Canadian bacon, chopped
6 English muffins, split and cut into 1-inch pieces
8 eggs
2 cups 2% milk
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika

SAUCE:

4 egg yolks
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup butter, melted

Place half of the bacon in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; top with English muffins and remaining bacon. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and onion powder; pour over the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and bake at 375°F for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

In a double boiler or metal bowl over simmering water, constantly whisk the egg yolks, cream, lemon juice and mustard until mixture reaches 160°F or is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Reduce heat to low. Slowly drizzle in warm melted butter, whisking constantly. Serve immediately with casserole.

Mom's Muffins
makes 12 - make 2 batches for this menu.
These muffins were always a special treat when I was a child. Now I have lots of muffin recipes, and I make one kind or another several times each week. But none are better than these...and for me, none come out of the oven with so many heartwarming memories attached!

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten

In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center. Combine eggs, milk and oil. Pour into well and mix just until dry ingredients are moistened (do not overmix).
Spoon into greased muffin cups. Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

35 min 20 min prep Change to: muffins US Metric Muffin Mix 1 1/4 cups rice flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1/2 cup taoipca flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon xanthan gum 1/3 cup sugar or 1/8 teaspoon stevia powder To Make Muffins 2 eggs 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/3 cup soymilk or water or fruit juice 1/2 cup currants (optional) or raisins (optional) or nuts (optional) or berries (optional) Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container for future use. The second ingredient is sweet white rice flour. I have tried to change it on here before. The sweet white rice flour is a bit more " glutenous than the plain white rice flour. Muffins to 1 cup of mix, beat together:. 2 eggs. 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. 1/3 cup of any non dairy liquid ( soy milk, water, fruit juice etc. ). Pour into flour mixture and beat until smooth. 1/2 cup currents, raisins, nuts, dates or berries etc. can be folded in at this point. Spoon into greased or paper lined muffin tins. Bake 375 F oven for 12 15 minute. Makes 6 muffins. Cake Mix as for muffins but add more sweetening ( sugar , stevia , honey etc. ). Eg. If you are making an orange cake use orange juice for the liquid and some orange zest. Spoon dough into greased 8" round cake pan. bake in preheated 350 F oven for 20 25 minute. Makes one 8 " round cake.
