1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Butter for greasing the dish
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and dry mustard (if using).

4. Pour egg mixture evenly over the dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight or let rest 30 minutes.
