2. Whisk together eggs, milk, parmesan, gruyere and salt. Pour an ⅛ inch of egg mixture onto the bottom of 2 quart casserole pan; set aside. Toss and mix cubed bread and into sausage mixture. Sprinkle bread and sausage mixture into casserole pan and pour remaining egg mixture on top. Gently press down so that bread absorbs egg mixture.
