English Muffin, Ham and Egg Strata (Overnight Bake)

by 2 Comments

Strata means layers… generally layers of egg-soaked bread and meat of some kind (ham, sausage, bacon) and cheese. It is baked like a casserole.

This is the other very popular strata ( Overnight egg casserole) that I prepared for the Bridal Breakfast that I catered last month. Other delicious Items on the menu were a mouth watering BROWN SUGAR STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE,  a fresh Blueberry Crumb Coffee Cake, incredible OVERNIGHT SAUSAGE AND EGG BAKE, Overnight Vegetarian Egg Bake, Fresh Fruit Salad, Coffee and Juices.

I did all of the preparation the day before, so the morning of the breakfast, I just popped the strata’s in the oven so that they would be warm and ready for a beautiful breakfast.

I doubled this recipe since there was a party of 23 people. Martha Stewart’s recipe calls for Canadian Bacon, but I substituted small round ham, the same size as the English Muffin.

Everyone raved about how delicious everything tasted and how beautiful it looked.

English Muffin, Ham and Egg Strata ( Overnight Bake)

Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 10
 
I love making this dish the night before, then all you have to do is pop it in the oven in the am and you have a delicious breakfast. Perfect for parties, holidays or just when you want an easy breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
  • Butter, softened (for pan)
  • 4 English Muffins, split, toasted
  • ½ pound sliced (about 10 slices) small round sliced Ham
  • 1¼ cups shredded (5 ounces) sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 8 large eggs
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1½ tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • Coarse Salt and ground pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Hot Sauce, such as Tabasco
Instructions
  1. Generously Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish (oval or square); set aside.
  2. In a baking dish, alternately arrange, cut side down, muffin halves and Ham.
  3. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
  4. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper, and hot sauce until combined.
  6. Pour over English muffins and ham; cover tightly with plastic wrap.
  7. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  8. Place large pan over strata, place heavy pan on top. ( So all ingredients will be covered in egg mixture, soaked.)
  9. In the morning, Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  10. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet; remove plastic wrap.
  11. Bake until puffed and set in the center (see note below), about 1 hour and 30 minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if strata starts to brown too quickly.)
  12. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
  13. Let the strata chill 2 hours, and it will be nice and moist. If you leave it overnight in the refrigerator, it will be even more custardy.
  14. To test to see if it is done, use a sharp knife and insert in center; it should not be jiggly, but should feel firm and the knife should come out clean.
  15. Arrange the muffin halves and Ham upright for beautiful presentation and easier serving.
  16. When cutting, you'll be able to see the layers and make sure each portion contains a few pieces of bread and ham.
