Preparation

Step 1

Butter a 2 qt 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. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, 1/2 tsp salt, a pinch of pepper, and hot sauce until combined. Pour over muffins and bacon; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet; remove plastic wrap. Bake until puffed and set in the center (see note above); about 1 hour and 30 minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if strata starts to brown too, quickly.) Let stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
