Directions

1. Prepare the casserole:
   Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the cubed English muffins evenly in the dish, then top with the diced ham.
2. Make the egg mixture:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the English muffins and ham, pressing down gently to ensure everything is soaked.
3. Chill overnight (optional):
   Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or bake immediately.

5. Bake the casserole:
   Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
6. Make the hollandaise sauce:
   While the casserole bakes, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and whisk constantly until thickened. Gradually add the melted butter, whisking until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Serve and enjoy:
   Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the casserole and garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of paprika. Serve warm.
