We had this breakfast casserole at a bed and breakfast in Branson, MO (Anchor Inn on the Lake) and absolutely loved it. I don't like breakfast casseroles that are too dry or too eggy and this one is perfect!

MULTIGRAIN ENGLISH MUFFINS



Multigrain English Muffins image

These English muffins are made with a mix of whole-wheat and white flours, along with rolled oats and a sprinkling of flaxseed and caraway seeds. Low-fat buttermilk gives the muffins a slight tang and a light texture. But unlike whole-milk dairy products, it contains very little saturated fat.

Yield Makes 15

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup warm water (115 degrees)
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons active dry yeast (from one 1/4-ounce envelope)
1 teaspoon unsalted butter, plus more for serving (optional)
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 tablespoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons whole flaxseed
1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds (optional)
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
Vegetable oil, cooking spray
1/4 cup coarse cornmeal
Preserves, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine warm water, honey, yeast, and butter in a bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy.
  • Combine flours, oats, wheat germ, salt, and flaxseed, and caraway seeds if desired, in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk, and mix with your hands until flours are almost fully incorporated. Turn out mixture onto a clean surface, and knead until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Lightly coat a large mixing bowl with cooking spray, and place dough in bowl. Cover with plastic, and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead for about 1 1/2 minutes, and roll to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out rounds. Roll and cut scraps once. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment, and dust with cornmeal. Place rounds on sheet, cover with plastic, and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until puffy, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat a large griddle or 12-inch skillet over low heat. Working in batches, place rounds 1 1/2 inches apart. Cook until golden brown and dry, about 7 minutes per side. Let cool for 30 minutes; split with a fork. Toast, and serve with butter and preserves if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your strata. Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Don't over-mix the batter. Over-mixing will make the strata tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the strata until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Let the strata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it to hold together better.
  • Serve the strata with your favorite toppings. Some good options include salsa, sour cream, avocado, and hot sauce.

Conclusion:

Martha Stewart's English Muffin Ham Breakfast Strata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast casserole that is perfect for a crowd. It is made with English muffins, ham, cheese, eggs, and milk. The strata is baked until it is golden brown and bubbly. It is then served with your favorite toppings. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham and English muffins. It is also a great make-ahead breakfast option. Simply assemble the strata the night before and bake it in the morning. Enjoy!
