This recipe was a big hit at my baby shower brunch! I used croissants instead of the regular bread and increased the cheese & sausage amounts per the other reviews. People couldn't get enough of it! This will definitely be added to my Christmas breakfast menu as well. Highly recommended

Too much bread for me, but perhaps it is because I tried to make a healthier version using whole wheat bread and turkey sausage. It didn't work and just tasted like bread. I may try again using a crusty white bread.

This was really good. I used 1 1/2 packages of sausage, french bread, 12 eggs and I added onions to the sausage while I was browning it. My whole family loves it.

This is always a favorite for brunch. I usually use 2 cups of regular milk and a dash of worcestershire sauce for more flavor.

This recipe is truly yummy and was a hit at a brunch I hosted. I used Jimmy Dean "Hot" sausage and it provided a nice kick without being spicy. Next time, I'll probably add more cheese as this amount is subtle but it is yummy just as is too! I'll definately by keeping this recipe to make many times in the future.

This was wonderful. I did make some changes based on past reviews. I used maple sausage, added sage to the egg mixture, and used day old croissants instead of bread. I have to say, I think the addition of croissants really made a nice addition. Everyone loved it!

We made this recipe Christmas morning, and cut up link sausage and substituted green onions for the onion powder. Also, we toasted the bread and it came out crispier. This recipe came out absolutely delicious; everyone loved it!

We love the sweet and savory flavors so we use Hawaiian Sweet bread and maple sausage. We then use extra sharp cheddar for the bite. I also add just a couple grinds of nutmeg. Serve with Vermont Real Maple Syrup. Unbelievable!
