# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat.
02 -
In a big pan over medium-high heat, cook up the sausage. Break it apart as it cooks, letting it brown nicely for 4-5 minutes. Drain off the grease after cooking.
03 -
Melt 1 tbsp of butter in the pan over medium heat. Take 10 eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper—whisk those together. Pour into the pan and cook while moving them around until they're just set.
04 -
Lay 6 slices of Texas toast in the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Add a slice of American cheese on each piece of bread.
05 -
Spoon on the scrambled eggs and browned sausage. Then place another slice of cheese on top of the mixture.
06 -
In a medium bowl, combine the rest of the eggs (8), remaining 3/4 cup of milk, and the mustard powder. Stir well, then carefully pour it all over the layers in the pan.
07 -
Cover the dish by adding the last slices of Texas toast on top.
08 -
Melt the final 3 tbsp of butter. Use it to generously brush the tops of the bread.
09 -
Cover the baking dish with foil, then pop it in the oven for 20 minutes.
10 -
Take the foil off and put it back in the oven to bake another 20 minutes till golden.
