To assemble, spead the onions and hash browns evenly at the bottom of the greased dish. Place the bread cubes evenly on top of the hash browns. With a slotted spoon distribute sausage as the third layer. Pour the milk and egg mixture over these layers. Add Parmesan as the next layer, while then adding the Cheddar.
