Ingredients

• 6 slices bread
• 1 pound pork sausage
• 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
• 2 cups shredded cheese whatever cheese you choose
• 7 eggs slightly beaten
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup cream
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 dash black pepper
• 1 dash nutmeg

Instructions

1. In a greased 3 qt. (9x13) oblong baking dish, place 6 slices of bread. (Note: original recipe says to break up bread and spread in a 10x16x1/2" casserole dish. I use the Pyrex 3 qt. dish and do not break up the bread.)
   
2. Brown sausage. Drain off excess fat. Stir in mustard.
   
3. Spoon sausage evenly over bread and sprinkle with cheese.
   
4. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over cheese and sausage.
   
5. Allow to sit for a couple of hours or overnight in fridge.
   
6. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, until puffy and lightly brown.
   
7. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use. Defrost before baking.
