Instructions

1. Assemble the Cuisinart® Stack5® with
the baking pan and select 400°F.
Add one teaspoon of the olive oil to

the green onions and let cook for an
additional minute or two.
6. Add the sausage back to the pan,
then lower the temperature to 300°F.
7. Add the egg mixture to the pan and
top with the shredded Cheddar.
