1 lb breakfast sausage
6 cups sandwich bread, cubed
8 large eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded cheddar
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt

How to cook it

Brown the sausage in a skillet, breaking it up, about 7 minutes, then drain and let cool slightly.
Butter a 9x13 baking dish and spread the cubed bread evenly in the bottom.
Scatter the sausage and half the cheddar over the bread.
Whisk the eggs, milk, dijon, salt, and pepper together and pour evenly over the bread and sausage.
Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight, pressing the bread down once to soak.
Heat the oven to 350F, uncover the dish, scatter the remaining cheddar on top, and bake until puffed, golden, and set in the center, about 45 minutes.
