Preparation

Step 1

1. Grease a 10" square baking dish, then layer in half of the English muffin pieces. Top with the ham, asparagus (or broccoli) and cheese, then with the remaining English muffin pieces.

2. Combine the beaten eggs, milk, sour cream, onion, mustard, caraway seed and pepper in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Pour mixture over the layers in the baking dish. Cover and chill for at least 2 and up to 24 hours.

3. Bake, uncovered in a preheated 325 degree oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the middle of the strata comes out clean. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
