Eggs Benedict Casserole

I don't even remember when I discovered this or made it for the first time. I'm guessing Stacy's birthday, or Mother's Day. I don't know. It's made an appearance several times and I'm told it's wonderful. If I were an egg eater, I'd probably love it, too. It must be served with the Blender Hollandaise Sauce. --Mark

Ingredients:

cooking spray 
8 large eggs
2 cups milk
3 green onions, chopped
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 pound Canadian bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice 
6 English muffins, cut into 1/2-inch dice 
1/2 tsp paprika
1 (.9 ounce) package hollandaise sauce mix
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter

Instructions:

Spray 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Whisk eggs, 2 cups milk, green onions, onion powder, and salt together in a large bowl until well mixed.

Layer half the Canadian bacon in the prepared baking dish. Spread English muffins over meat and top with remaining Canadian bacon. Pour egg mixture over casserole. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Sprinkle casserole with paprika; cover with aluminum foil.

Bake in preheated oven until eggs are nearly set, about 30 minutes; remove foil. Continue baking until eggs are completely set, about 15 more minutes.
Whisk hollandaise sauce mix with 1 cup milk in a saucepan. Add margarine and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, and stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Drizzle sauce over casserole to serve.

Notes:

I add Muenster cheese to the second layer, which is probably some form of blasphemy, but the extra creaminess is very appealing.
