Directions
| 1. | Grease a 13 x 9-inch (3 L) baking dish. |
| 2. | In a large saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter, then sauté onions, garlic, zucchini and mushrooms until soft, about 10 minutes. |
| 3. | In a large bowl, whisk eggs until blended; whisk in milk, mustard, basil and pepper. Place cubed bread into another large bowl. To the bread, add zucchini and mushroom mixture, farmer sausage, ½ cup (125 mL) cheese, and toss gently to combine. Pour milk and egg mixture over bread mixture and mix to combine. Spread in a prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute tomato halves over the dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hrs or up to 1 day. |

- While it is best to refrigerate overnight to give the bread time to absorb the milk and egg mixture, this recipe still turns out great if cooked immediately.
- To cook immediately, allow the combined ingredients to sit for 15 minutes before baking.
