Ham and Cheese Strata Muffins

8 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 slices Black Forest Ham
1/4 cup butter
6 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
1/4 tsp dry mustard
Worcestershire Sauce
1 green onion, finely chopped

Preheat the oven to 350 (180 C).

Top 4 slices of bread with cheese and ham, then crown with the remaining slices of bread to make 4 sandwiches. Spread the butter evenly over the outside of each sandwich.

Using a serrated knife, cut each sandwich into 12 cubes. Lightly pack 4 cubes into each of 12 greased muffin cups.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Spoon the egg mixture over the cubes. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and set. Let stand for 15 minutes and then remove the muffins from their cups.

Serve immediately or wrap individually and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Serve warm or at room temperature.
