"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
Assemble the night before, or as long prior to the meal as possible, and refrigerate.

Brown and crumble the sausage, and remove it to a bowl.

Grease a 13x8 casserole dish. Place the slices of French bread in it to cover the bottom of the dish.

Spread the crumbled sausage evenly over all the bread.

In the sausage bowl, whisk the eggs lightly. Add the half-and-half or milk, the dry mustard, the Worcestershire Sauce, and salt and pepper. Stir together. Fold in half of the shredded cheese, and pour the mixture evenly over the bread and sausage.

Top with the remaining cheese, and sprinkle paprika over the top. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight, or as long as possible.

Bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.

Allow to rest 10 minutes prior to serving.
