How to Make Auntie Lu's Amazing Egg Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Layer half (about 6-8 slices) of the bread in the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage (about 1 pound) over the bread.
  4. Top with the remaining bread slices.
  5. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the bread.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 ½ cups milk, and ½ teaspoon salt (optional).
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese.
  8. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
  9. Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  10. Bake covered for 1 hour.
  11. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
  12. **Optional Sauce:** While the egg bake is baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup and ½ cup sour cream. Cook over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
  13. Spoon sauce over individual servings of the egg bake.
