Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

Unsalted butter, room temperature, for baking dish
4 English muffins, split, toasted, and cut into half-moons
1/2 pound Canadian bacon (about 10 slices), cut into half-moons
1 1/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (5 ounces)
1 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese (4 ounces)
8 large eggs
3 cups milk
4 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce, such as Tabasco

Steps:

  • Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Arrange muffin halves and Canadian bacon cut sides down (see below) in dish. Sprinkle evenly with both cheeses.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper, and the hot-pepper sauce until combined. Pour into dish; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours (or up to overnight).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until puffed and set in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. (Tent loosely with aluminum foil if strata browns too quickly.) Let stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
  • Layering Ingredients
  • The muffin halves and Canadian bacon are arranged upright in the baking dish for easier serving. When cutting, you'll be able to see the layers and make sure each portion contains a few pieces of bread and bacon.
