Instructions
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. This will prevent the soufflé from sticking and make cleanup a breeze. |
| 2 | Arrange the bread cubes evenly across the bottom of the pan. They will form the base layer of the soufflé. |
| 3 | Spread the crumbled sausage over the bread cubes, ensuring it is evenly distributed. |
| 4 | In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, and mustard. Whisk until thoroughly blended. |
| 5 | Gently fold in the shredded Swiss and sharp cheddar cheese. If using mushrooms, fold them in as well. |
| 6 | Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the sausage and bread cubes, making sure all ingredients are coated evenly. |
| 7 | Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld. |
| 8 | Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). |
| 9 | Remove the soufflé from the refrigerator and bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The top should be golden brown, and the center should be set. |
| 10 | Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors with family and friends! |
This soufflé is perfect for any special occasion, whether it’s a holiday breakfast or a weekend brunch. The overnight preparation makes it a stress-free dish, while the blend of sausage and cheese creates a savory and comforting meal for everyone to enjoy.
