Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
-
Step 2.
Cut the crusts off 8 to 10 slices of white bread, then cut the slices into cubes. Spread the bread cubes evenly in the bottom of the buttered pan.
-
Step 3.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of sausage, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Once fully cooked, sprinkle the sausage crumbles over the bread cubes in the pan.
-
Step 4.
In a large bowl, lightly beat 6 to 8 eggs. Add ½ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese, ½ cup grated Swiss cheese, ¾ cup half-and-half, 1¼ cups milk, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. If using, stir in ½ cup drained canned mushrooms. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and sausage in the pan.
