Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings 10

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds pork sausage
  • 2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
  • 12+ slices White bread with crust removed
  • 1 pound shredded swiss cheese
  • 6 large eggs beaten
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
  • Grease a 9x13 pan...I used Pam
  • Brown the sausage and break it into small pieces, drain and place on paper towels. Set aside.
  • Mix together prepared yellow mustard, eggs, milk, half and half, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, and whisk until combined. Set aside
  • Layers: place a layer of bread on the bottom of the prepared pan, top with 1/2 of the sausage, top that with 1/2 of the cheese, and top with 1/2 of the egg mixture. And then repeat layers.
  • To bake immediately-bake uncovered for 50 minutes to an hour or until set and serve immediately. It took about an hour and 10 minutes for me.
  • If you are planning to bake it the next day. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight; take it out an hour before baking, bake uncovered for 50 minutes to an hour or until set, and serve immediately.

Notes

This is my family's go-to Christmas Breakfast. I have made it ahead of time and also made it the day of and it has turned out great.
