- Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish (oval or square); set aside. In dish, alternately arrange, cut side down, muffin halves and Canadian-bacon. Sprinkle with cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper, and hot sauce until combined. Pour over muffins and bacon; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet; remove plastic wrap. Bake until puffed and set in the center (see tips below), about 1 hour and 30 minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if strata starts to brown too quickly.) Let stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
- Tips: Let the strata chill 2 hours, and it will be nice and moist. If you leave it overnight in the refrigerator, it will be even more custardy. To test for doneness, pierce center of strata with a sharp knife; it should feel firm and the knife should come out clean.
