Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of milk, 8 large eggs, chopped green onions, onion powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended and frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in 2 cups of diced Canadian bacon and 4 cups of cubed English muffins into the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  4. Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

  6. Sprinkle ground paprika generously over the top of the casserole.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight.
  8. On serving day, uncover the casserole and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the top is set and lightly browned.
