1.  Eggs Benedict is traditionally made with Canadian bacon, but I like the rich juiciness of ham.  So the first step is to dice 12 to 16 ounces of ham into half-inch cubes.  Sprinkle half the ham into a 9×13″ baking dish prepared with cooking spray.

2.  Cut six English muffins into small pieces and layer them on top of the ham.  Then layer the remaining ham on top of the muffins.
