We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.

  • Step 12: Allow to sit for 15 minutes before slicing, then serve immediately.
