"I increased the eggs to 16, added 8 slices of day old bread and tossed the sausage/bread mix lightly with the egg mix. I also added 5 T milk, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper to the eggs. I used 2 c sha..." See morerp cheddar in the egg mix, and topped it with another c of shredded cheddar/monterey jack blend.

I baked it for 25-30 minutes instead of the 15 indicated. Will feed 9. My gang loved it!"
