Time 1h55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 English muffins, split, toasted, each half cut in half (four pieces per muffin)
1/2 lb sliced Canadian bacon, each slice halved (about 10 slices)
1 1/4 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, finely shredded
8 large eggs
3 cups milk
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
coarse salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce

Steps:

  • Spray a shallow 2-quart baking dish ( oval or square)with cooking spray; set aside.
  • In dish, alternately arrange, cut side down, muffin pieces and Canadian bacon.
  • Sprinkle with cheeses and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, mustard, 1/2 t. salt, a pinch of pepper, and hot sauce until well combined.
  • Pour over muffins and bacon.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least two hours.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet;remove plastic wrap.
  • Bake until puffed and set in the center( a paring knife inserted in the center will come out clean) for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

  • Let stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

The flavor of this strata was a bit bland. I think I would add more spices or herbs next time.

This strata was a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or cream next time.

This is a great recipe for a make-ahead breakfast. I usually make it the night before and then just pop it in the oven in the morning.

I'm not usually a fan of strata, but this one was really good. The Canadian bacon added a nice smoky flavor.
