Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and optional mustard and garlic powder until well combined.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, sausage, and cheese. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure the bread soaks up the liquid.
