Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°.
Prepare Crispy Crowns according to package directions, then season with salt and pepper.
Whisk together mayonnaise, hot sauce, and garlic; transfer to a squeeze bottle.
Cook ham in oil in a sauté pan over high heat until beginning to brown, 3–4 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Add mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion to pan; cook until fork-tender and moisture evaporates, 5 minutes. Transfer mushroom mixture to a bowl; stir in ham, and season with salt and pepper.
Whisk together eggs and milk; season with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium until foamy. Add eggs and scramble, stirring constantly, until nearly set; transfer to a bowl.
Assemble nachos by placing half the Crispy Crowns on an ovenproof baking dish; top with one third hot sauce mayonnaise and half of each the ham mixture, eggs, and cheese. Bake nachos until cheese melts, 3 minutes, then top with remaining Crispy Crowns, one third mayonnaise, and remaining ham mixture, eggs, and cheese. Bake nachos until remaining cheese melts and is bubbly, 3 minutes; top with remaining mayonnaise and scallions.
To prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery in the oven, slightly undercook the eggs in the skillet.
So the hot sauce mayonnaise gets evenly distributed over the Crowns, use a squeeze bottle to put it on.
