Step by Step Method
Step 1
Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Line the bottom of the pan with enough bread slices to cover the bottom in one layer (you may need to slice off some of the bread edges) set aside.
Step 3
In a skillet cook the sausage meat with onion until browned; drain fat.
Step 4
In a large bowl whisk the eggs with half and half cream, black pepper and salt.
Step 5
Spoon 1/2 of the cooked sausage mixture over the bread slices in the baking pan, then top with 1/2 of the mushrooms, then half of the green onions, then half of the shredded cheese.
Step 6
Drizzle 1 cup of the egg mixture over the top.
Step 7
Repeat the layer with bread slices (use as many as needed to cover) cooked sausage mixture, mushrooms, shredded cheese then green onions.
Step 8
Slowly drizzle the remaining egg mixture over the top.
Step 9
Cover with plastic wrap, then gently push down the top with your hands to submerge the ingredients, then remove the plastic wrap.
Step 10
Bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven (oven rack set to middle position) for about 50 minutes or until the egg mixture is just set.
Step 11
If desired you may place under broiler heat to brown the top more.
