"Throw this together the night before so it will be ready to pop in the oven the next morning, this makes a great weekend brunch! Italian sausages may be used in place of small breakfast sausages. For extra heat add in some cayenne pepper! Plan ahead this needs to chill for 8-24 hours."

Served this to 5 growing boys and it was a real hit.The only thing I did different was to use turkey<br/>sausage and I used french bread...Thanks so much for the easy keeper. I will definately do this one many times over.

made a practice run at this and it was delicious, of course Kittencal! I did use turkey sausage, 2 percent cheddar cheese - egg beaters, low-fat cream - and low fat parmesan - had too - watching our fat intake - it was delicious - my husband didn't even know he was eating a lower fat version - thanks Kittencal!!

This was delicious! Made it with french and wheat bread mix, as that was what I had on hand. Very easy and perfect for Christmas morning.
