Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray

1 pound ground maple pork sausage

6 slices soft hearty white bread

One 8-ounce package shredded triple Cheddar cheese

8 large eggs

2 cups whole milk

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon seasoned pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13- by 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, stirring frequently, until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain well on paper towels.
3. Cut and discard the crusts from the bread. Cut the slices in half, and arrange in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, cutting pieces to fit as necessary to cover the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with the sausage and cheese.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, mustard, seasoned salt and pepper; carefully pour the mixture over the cheese. 
5. Bake casserole until set and golden, about 40 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving
