Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 350F and spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

- Swap regular bread for gluten-free or whole grain options to customize the dish for different dietary needs.
- Choose spicy or mild sausage depending on your flavor preference, which can totally transform the breakfast experience.
