Ingredients

6 eggs, beaten

2 cups milk

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

8-ounce loaf italian peasant bread, cut into 1 inch thick slices

3 cups fully cooked, finely chopped spicy italian sausage

3 crisp, sweet apples, cored and sliced into very thin rounds

2 1/2 cups grated Grana Padano cheese

Directions

Lightly butter a 9 inch by 9 inch baking dish.

In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, milk and nutmeg. Soak each slice of bread in the custard until fully saturated. Arrange a thirl of the slices in the prepared baking dish.

Top the bread with half of the sausage, half of the apples and 1 cup of the cheese.

Layer another third of the bread over the fillings, add other half of teh sausage, and the apple. Plus 1 more cup of the chese.

Top with the last third of the soaked bread.

Pour any remaining custard over the top.

Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of the cheese.

Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.

When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 325 degrees f. Bake uncovered for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

-NOTE: I see alot of play in this like bacon instead of sausage, different breads and cheeses. I like the apples so I would keep those!!!!
