Ingredients for Alabama Egg And Sausage Souffle

  • Bulk Sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • White Bread
  • Cheddar Cheese

How to Make Alabama Egg And Sausage Souffle

  1. Crumble 1 pound of sausage and brown it in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. Drain the cooked sausage on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease. Allow it to cool completely.
  3. 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.
  4. Add 4 cups of cubed day-old bread (about 1 pound).
  5. Gently stir the bread cubes into the egg mixture until evenly moistened.
  6. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and the cooled, crumbled sausage.
  7. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the bread to fully absorb the liquid.
  9. The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  10. 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

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
