Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices White bread
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a medium-sized casserole dish or soufflé dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
Remove the crusts from the white bread slices and cut each slice into small cubes, roughly 1-inch in size.
In your greased casserole dish, layer half of the bread cubes evenly along the bottom. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the bread layer. Add the remaining bread cubes and top with the second cup of shredded cheddar.
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until frothy. Add the milk, melted butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and hot sauce (if using). Whisk until the mixture is smooth and everything is well combined.
Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture over the bread and cheese layers. Use a fork or spatula to gently press the bread down so it soaks up the liquid evenly. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to fully absorb.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the soufflé is puffed and set in the center.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The soufflé will deflate slightly as it cools, but this is normal. Serve warm and enjoy!
