• 9 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 c. milk
• 9 slices bread, cubed
• 1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled

In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.  Add the eggs, milk, bread, cheese, bacon, and mustard.  Transfer to a greased shallow 3 qt. baking dish.  Cover and refrigerate over night.  

Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.  Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until a knife inserted near the corner comes out clean.  Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
