Ingredients
Softened butter for pan
4 English muffins, split, toasted, and cut in half
1/2 pound sliced Canadian bacon, halved
5 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/3 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
8 large eggs
3 cups milk
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
 1. Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish (oval or square); set
aside. In dish, alternately arrange, cut side down, muffin halves and
Canadian bacon. Sprinkle with cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Set aside.
 2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, 1/2
teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper, and hot sauce until combined. Pour

before cutting and serving.
