FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen English muffins?
A: Yes. Thaw and lightly toast them before layering so they absorb the egg mix well.

Q: Do I have to refrigerate overnight?
A: Yes. Chilling helps the muffins soak up the egg and gives a better texture and flavor.

Q: Can I make the hollandaise from scratch?
A: Yes. Warm, fresh hollandaise tastes great. You can also use a good store-bought version for speed.

Q: What if the top browns too fast while baking?
A: Cover with foil for the last 10–15 minutes, then remove foil to finish browning if needed.

Q: Can I cut the recipe in half?
A: Yes. Use a smaller baking dish and halve the ingredients for fewer servings.
