Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and generously grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

In a mixing bowl, beat together the evaporated milk and eggs until fully combined. Stir in the nutmeg, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.

Pour the egg mixture over the sausage layer in the pan, ensuring it spreads evenly.

Sprinkle the grated Swiss and cheddar cheeses on top of the egg mixture.
