Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and Dijon mustard. Whisk vigorously until frothy and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Cut the English muffins into quarters. Optionally, lightly toast the pieces for about 5 minutes.
  4. Arrange the quartered muffins in a greased baking dish, overlapping slightly.
  5. Distribute the Canadian bacon evenly over the muffin layer.
  6. Pour the whisked egg mixture over the layered muffins and bacon, ensuring even coverage.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and set.
  10. Allow to cool slightly before drizzling with hollandaise sauce and garnishing with chopped chives or parsley.
