Lazy Day Casserole

This is a great one for breakfast or for dinner. We enjoyed it for dinner. I admit that when I preview some recipes, I sometimes crinkle my nose at either the ingredients or method of preparation. THIS was one such recipe. The ingredients were fine, but I couldn't fathom using bread the way they called for it. That being said, I am glad I gave it it a try. This yummy breakfast/dinner dish will definitely be a keeper at our house (sorry no pics again).

Here is what you need:
1/2 pound day old French Bread, sliced (I got mine off the "discount" rack at walmart)
1 pound sausage, cooked and crumbled
8 Eggs
2 Cups milk
1/2 tsp pepper
8 oz sliced Swiss cheese (I used cheddar)
1/4 Cup fresh parsley (I used dried)

1) Preheat oven to 350. Spray down a 9x13 pan. Line the bottom of the pan with the bread slices.
2) Sprinkle cooked sausage over the bread.
3) Beat eggs, milk, and pepper together in a bowl. Pour over the sausage and bread. Using a spatula, press down the bread to absorb the egg mixture.
4) Top with cheese and parsley.
5) Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean. (I think mine was about 40 minutes.)
