Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large English muffins, split and toasted
  • 8 ounces (225 g) cooked ham, diced or sliced
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) whole milk or 2%
  • 1 cup (225 g) small curd cottage cheese
  • 1 cup (120 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 tablespoons (57 g) butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chives, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Toast the English muffins until golden brown and slightly crisp. Cut into roughly 1-inch chunks and layer evenly in the baking dish.
  3. Distribute the diced or sliced ham evenly over the muffin pieces.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cottage cheese until smooth. Add melted butter, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper; whisk to combine.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the ham and muffin layers.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients and press down gently with a spatula to soak the muffins and ham.
  7. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired.

Notes

Toast English muffins well to avoid sogginess. For an ultra-smooth sauce, pulse cottage cheese in a blender before mixing. Cover casserole during initial baking to retain moisture, then uncover to brown the top. Let rest before serving for easier slicing. Can be assembled the night before and refrigerated; add 5-10 minutes to baking time if chilled. Substitute ingredients for gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegetarian variations as desired.
