RECIPE: Ham Asparagus Strata

This is the HAM ASPARAGUS STRATA from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I have used it often for brunch parties and last year it was a big hit on MOPS mornings. Just in case you don't have a go-to egg dish, this one is yummy and pretty healthy. We also like it for dinner in my house. -Carly

4 English muffins, cut into bite-size pieces
