Ingredients

• 8 ounces breakfast sausage
• 6 large eggs
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 green onions (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9-inch baking dish by greasing it with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula. Once cooked, transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to eliminate lumps. Continue to whisk and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Gradually add the cooled cheese sauce to the eggs, whisking continuously to combine.

Step 7

Fold the cooked sausage and chopped green onions (if using) into the egg mixture.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed up, golden brown on top, and set in the center. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent it from deflating.

Step 10

Once baked, remove the soufflé from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Egg Sausage Soufflé warm!
