In dish, alternately arrange toasted muffin halves, cut side down, and ham slices. Sprinkle with cheddar and parmesan cheeses. Set aside. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, 1/3 tsp salt, a pinch of pepper and hot sauce until combined. Pour over muffins and ham, cover tightly with plastic wrap.
