1. Trim the crusts off the bread.
2. Lightly spread both the front and back of each slice with butter or margarine.
3. Place buttered bread evenly in a greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Set aside.

6. Spoon cooked sausage over bread slices, and sprinkle cheese over the sausage.
7. Beat eggs with an electric mixer until fluffy.
