6 to 8 slices bread, white or whole wheat, crusts removed

1  medium apple, peeled and diced

5  eggs
2 cups milk or half-and-half

Lay the bread in the bottom of a 9x13-inch ovenproof baking dish. Sprinkle the sausage and chopped apple evenly over the bread. Sprinkle on the cheese. In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, and dry mustard. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and sausage. Wrap the pan in foil. Label it, and freeze (if you wish to bake it later).
