Brie and Sausage Breakfast Casserole

1 (8-ounce) round Brie*
1 pound ground hot pork sausage
6 white sandwich bread slices
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
7 large eggs, divided use
3 cups whipping cream, divided use
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Garnishes: chopped green onions, freshly shaved Parmesan cheese

1. Trim rind from Brie, and discard; cut cheese into cubes, and set aside.
2. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink; drain well.

4. Whisk together 5 eggs, 2 cups whipping cream, and next 4 ingredients; pour evenly over cheeses. Cover and chill mixture for 8 hours.
5. Whisk together remaining 2 eggs and remaining 1 cup whipping cream; pour evenly over chilled mixture.
6. Bake at 350*F (175*C) for 1 hour or until casserole is set. Garnish, if desired.
