Add the onion and saut? over medium-low heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the hash browns and break apart. Saut? until soft, about 5 minutes.In a second frying pan, saut? the sausage, breaking apart large clumps. When the sausage is cooked through, remove it from pan.In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg and mustard, briskly to blend.To assemble, spread the onions and hash browns evenly at the bottom of the greased dish. Place the bread cubes evenly on top of hash browns. With a slotted spoon distribute sausage as the third layer. Pour the milk and egg mixture over these layers. Add Parmesan as the next layer, while then adding the Cheddar.*Cook's Note: Save a few tablespoons of Cheddar for the last 10 minutes of baking, where you can add a fresh topping of melted Cheddar. To make the dish even healthier, add chopped veggies (such as green pepper, tomato, broccoli, asparagus, spinach, or mushrooms.)Bake the casserole, uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.Number of Servings: 16Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KKS5369.
