Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Day-old bread
- 1 cup Diced ham
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Milk
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Cut the day-old bread into small, bite-sized cubes (approximately 1/2-inch pieces).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, Dijon mustard, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Add the bread cubes, diced ham, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Gently fold everything together, ensuring the bread absorbs the liquid evenly.
Allow the mixture to rest for 5-10 minutes to let the bread soak up the custard.
Using a ladle or large spoon, evenly distribute the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, packing them down gently if needed to fill each cup completely.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the muffins are set in the center.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the strata muffins to cool for 5 minutes before carefully running a knife around the edges and lifting them out.
Serve the Ham and Cheese Strata Muffins warm or at room temperature. They can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave before serving.
