• 1¼ cups shredded (5 ounces) sharp Cheddar cheese

• 3 cups milk
  
• 1½ Tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions



1. Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish. In dish, alternately arrange - cut side down - muffin halves and canadian bacon. Sprinkle with Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses.
   
   
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper, and hot sauce to taste. Pour over muffins and bacon; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
   
   
3. Preheat oven to 350° F.
   Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet; remove plastic wrap. Bake until puffed and set in the center, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. (Tent with foil if it browns too quickly.) Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
