Ingredients

• 4 English muffins
• 1.5 cups Cooked ham, diced
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cups Green onions, thinly sliced
• 6 Large eggs
• 2 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.

Step 2

Split the English muffins in half, then cut each half into small bite-sized pieces (approximately 1-inch cubes).

Step 3

Spread the English muffin pieces evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Step 4

Sprinkle the diced ham evenly over the English muffin pieces, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese and the sliced green onions.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish, ensuring everything is evenly soaked.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture. You can also prepare this the night before and refrigerate overnight.

Step 8

Bake the strata (covered) in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the strata is set in the center.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into portions and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your English Muffin and Ham Strata warm!
