How to Make Alabama Egg And Sausage Souffle
- Crumble 1 pound of sausage and brown it in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Drain the cooked sausage on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease. Allow it to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs until light and frothy. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard.
- Add 4 cups of cubed day-old bread (about 1 pound).
- Gently stir the bread cubes into the egg mixture until evenly moistened.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and the cooled, crumbled sausage.
- Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the bread to fully absorb the liquid.
- The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the souffle is golden brown and set. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
