It doesn't get much easier than this to feed a bunch. Make it easier by purchasing pre-cooked sausage links and making it the night before. Great use of leftover dinner rolls, too!

Ingredients

8 large dinner rolls (more or less, depending on size)
6 sausage links, cooked (more if desired)
1 cup shredded cheese (your choice on cheese variety; I use a Mexican blend)
12 large eggs
2 cups milk
salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1

Spray glass 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Tear dinner rolls into bite-sized pieces and toss into pan, filling pan about 2/3 way with bread pieces. (Do not pat down; leave them loose.)
2

Cut cooked sausage links into thin coins. Sprinkle coins over bread.
3

Sprinkle cheese over all.
4

Beat eggs, one at a time, and add milk to eggs. Mix well. Pour egg mixture over top of bread, sausage and cheese, making sure all bread is wet.
5

Lightly sprinkle top with salt and pepper to taste (eliminate this step if watching sodium intake, as sausage provides salty taste too).
6

Cover with foil and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Remove from refrigerator a 30 minutes prior to baking. Bake at 350° F, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15-30 minutes, until center is set and edges are golden brown.
7

Remove from oven and let egg bake rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
