- 8 English muffins, quartered
- 8 ounces (226 grams) Canadian bacon or ham
- 2 cups (226 grams) shredded cheddar cheese

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Finishing Ingredients:

Instructions
- Create a uniform layer of quartered English muffins in a thoroughly greased 9×13 inch baking dish, ensuring complete bottom coverage.
- Distribute Canadian bacon evenly across the English muffin base, creating a uniform protein layer.
- Whisk eggs with milk, incorporating salt, pepper, cayenne, and Dijon mustard until smooth and well-integrated.
