Egg Bake

3 c. cubed ham
3 c. stale bread, cubed
8 oz. Shredded cheddar cheese.
3 T. flour
1 T. dry mustard
4 eggs
3 c. milk
3 T. margarine, melted

Grease 9 x 13-inch pan. Place 1/3 ham, bread and cheese in pan. Sprinkle 1/3 flour and mustard over this layer. Repeat to make 3 layers. Beat eggs and milk until foamy; add melted margarine. Pour over top of dry ingredients. Cover and set in refrigerator overnight (Will keep a couple of days). Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

This one ALWAYS disappears quickly at church functions! It's soooo good! Oh yeah. Somewhere along the line, I thought doing it in layers was dumb and you can't really tell that they are there, so I just throw everything in the pan and pour the egg mixture over it. I usually throw the eggs, milk, flour and dry mustard into the blender.

Here's my favorite, and it's really easy. This recipe serves 5-6. Oven baked Apple Pancakes and Sausage

8 ounces Brown & Serve Sausage links
1 cup pancake mix (the kind you add egg and milk to)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped apple.

Brown sausage according to package directions. In a mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients except aple. Mix until smooth. Add apple. Pour into well-greased 10x6 x 2" deep baking dish. Arrange sausages on top. Bake in 450 degree oven for 20 minutes. Serve hot with syrup.

Mom used to arrange the sausages so that she could cut the finished product in squares with an equal amount of sausage on each serving.

Here's pretty much the same thing, to serve 10. This one doesn't call for pre-cooking the sausage, I think because the pan is very shallow and you cook at a higher temperature. It is more work, from not using a mix.
