# Steps:
01 -
Turn the oven on to 375°F (190°C) to get it up to temperature.

Toss the pork sausage into a big pan and cook it over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring and breaking into bits as it browns. Scoop out the cooked meat and drain off the grease.

Grab a 9x13 baking pan and place 6 slices of Texas toast along the bottom. Add a slice of American cheese on top of each piece of bread.
05 -
Spread the sausage and scrambled eggs across the bread. Lay another slice of American cheese on top.
06 -
In a medium bowl, mix the remaining 8 eggs with 3/4 cup of milk and the mustard powder. Carefully pour the mixture over everything in the pan to soak through.

Place the last 6 slices of Texas toast on top to finish your layers.

Melt the rest of the butter (3 tablespoons) and lightly brush it over the top layer of bread.

Wrap the pan with foil and bake it for 20 minutes.
