SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS CHEESE SOUFFLE


*This is a very special family favorite!   One of the great things about this recipe is that you prepare it the night before (up to 24 hours) and then pop it in the oven one hour before you want to serve it!   It is delicious served with Coke Ham, pork tenderloin or with roast beef (those recipes on the blog).  It also works as a breakfast dish.  Kids love it!

8 slices white bread (edges trimmed off)
3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Kosher salt
Black pepper
3 cups milk
6 eggs, slightly beaten

Instructions:  Best if refrigerated overnight or at least several hours before cooking.
Spray a square pyrex dish with PAM. 
Layer the following;  4 of the bread slices, 1 and ½ cups of the cheese, a sprinkle of salt and pepper.  Then repeat the layers of bread, cheese, salt and pepper. 
In a large measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. 
Pour this mixture over the layered bread and cheese.
Place the baking dish on a baking sheet (in case of spills in the oven).
Bake at 300 degrees for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour or until soufflé is puffed and beginning to brown on top.  Serve immediately.
