Baked Egg-Strata Casserole
Prep time: 20 minutes

Ingredients
1 pound sausage
1 loaf of bread, cubed (preferably day old)

Heat a fry pan to medium-high and cook sausage until evenly brown. Drain, and set aside. Prep a casserole dish with butter or cooking spray and layer bread cubes, sausage and cheddar cheese.

Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
