Auntie Lu's Amazing Egg Bake

Scott Johnson's Note:

A cheesy, delicious, breakfast meal for a crowd. Auntie Lu would always make this when we would stay overnight and it was a HUGE hit. We use a "perfect brownie" pan so that every piece is a delicious, crusty edge piece. The recipe works with either white or wheat bread, you can't tell the difference. I use a spicy sausage so there is no need for additional spices, but you can add your own spices to the eggs before you pour it on or in the meat when you cook it. Sauce is optional but very delicious.
