Tear up 4 slices bread, any kind, and place pieces in greased baking dish (13"x9"x2"). A pretty oven to table casserole would be a good choice.

Brown and drain 1 pound bulk sausage meat or links in skillet. Drain off fat. Cut links in slices. Spoon sausage over bread. Sprinkle with 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese.

Beat together 6 eggs, 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon dry mustard (optional), 1 teaspoon salt and dash pepper. Pour over mixture in baking dish.

Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes. The cheese will rise to the top during baking. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Prepare this the night before, cover and refrigerate. Breakfast cooks without any effort.
