Egg Soufle

This is a simple, delicious, warm breakfast casserole.  This is really the base to so many delicious possibilities.   My recipe is for cheddar cheese and sausage, but you could easily change it to swiss and bacon, or pepper jack and veggies...anything would work.  My mom always did sausage and cheddar - so that's what I love and continue to do.


This souffle is PERFECT alongside of the Easter Morning pull-aparts.  They are both warm, fresh out of the oven, filling, and special.  They are also both made the night before.



Now - this dish is so seriously easy that you won't even believe it.  Let me give you the rundown.

About 12 pieces of white bread, crusts removed
1 LB link Sausage, browned and cut into 1 inch pieces
7 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Spray a 9x13 cake pan with non-stick spray.  Arrange your bread slices so they are completely covering the bottom of the pan.  You may have to cut some piece in half, or smaller to fill the entire bottom of the pan.

Brown your sausage, drain it on a paper towel, and cut it into 1 inch pieces.  Evenly distribute the sausage pieces over the bread layer.

In a medium bowl combine eggs, milk, salt, and ground mustard.  Whisk together until all yolks are broken and it is a pale yellow color.  Stir in cheese.  Pour over the top of the bread layer.

Cover and place in the fridge overnight. (6-8 hours.)

Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes until edges are golden and center is set.  Let cool 10 minutes before serving.  Cut into squares to serve.


How easy was that?  All done before bedtime and ready to be baked in the morning!
