Cheese soufflé made from 4 different cheeses, sausage and eggs makes the best breakfast casserole of all time! I love it so much and keep going back for more!
Well, I don’t even know what I need to say about this one other than, it’s pure cheese, folks, and I’m not talking about my jokes. Ohhhhh, whomp whomp. Haha, I couldn’t help it.
This is a very old recipe from my family that for once isn’t my mom’s. In fact, I’m not even sure if she makes it at all. But we eat it when we visit my aunt and when I say eat it, I mean, DEVOUR IT.
I know, it looks unassuming and no, I don’t have any idea how I’ll convince you to try it, but you must. You really, really must, because it is the most melt in your mouth breakfast casserole you’ll ever consume. And best of all, you can easily change it to your own liking. Pepper jack cheese? Great idea. Bacon or ham? Bring it on.
This is going in your recipe box, and you’ll be making it until the cows come home. Or so my ancestors would have said.
What Ingredients are Needed for a Cheesy Egg Soufflé?
You’ll be hitting your cheese and dairy sections at the grocery store for this one! For the cheeses, I like to buy them in bricks and grate it on my own. They melt together so much better than the pre-shredded cheese. And you know I always go with Tillamook! Here is your grocery list:
- Sausage
- Monterey Jack Cheese
- Cheddar Cheese (sharp)
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Milk
- All Purpose Flour
- Cottage Cheese (full fat, low fat or fat free all work great)
- Eggs
- Butter
- Green Chiles
The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card below.
How to Make a Cheese Soufflé
The steps for making a breakfast cheese soufflé recipe are few and simple. It only takes about 10 minutes to prep and then 50 minutes to bake. Here are the basic steps:
- Spread half of the melted butter in your baking dish and be sure to brush the sides with the butter as well.
- Combine all the ingredients (including the remaining butter) in a large bowl and stir it well.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.

There’s something so homey about chunks of crispy on the outside and soft in the middle potatoes. I didn’t grow up going to diners, nor do I now, but potatoes were a staple in my home and they always bring feelings of safety and happiness for me. So naturally diner potatoes were something I needed to try!

How to Make Diner Style Home Fries
One of the keys to home fries is that as you cook them, if they start to look dry in the pan, you need to add a little bit more oil and stir coat them and let them keep cooking. Let me walk you through the whole recipe step by step:
- Prep: Start by washing the potatoes and you can peel them if you want. Cut the potatoes into half-inch cubes.
- Boil: This step is optional, but if you want extra crispy potatoes, start by boiling the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes.
- Cook: Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Put a lid on the pot and bring the water to a boil. Once it is boiling, remove the lid and let the potatoes cook until the cubes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain: Once the potatoes are fork tender, drain them well and then pat them dry.
- Sauté: While the potatoes are cooking, heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet (use a cast iron skillet if desired) and add the onions. Sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent. Remove the skillet to plate and set them aside.
- Cook: Add the rest of the oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat and add the potatoes in a single layer (you may need to do a few batches). Allow the potatoes to cook on each side until golden and crispy. Stir as needed and let the potatoes cook.
- NOTE: This is where you may need to add more oil if the potatoes start to look dry as you work through the batches.
- Combine: Once all the potatoes are browned and crispy on all sides, add all the potatoes, onions and butter to the skillet and season with the salt and pepper and toss everything together to combine.
- Serve: Serve the potatoes hot and enjoy!
