White Trash Cheese Souffle
"A "faux" cheese souffle using sliced bread that can be day-old. Because it rests for an hour before cooking, it is a good choice to use with recipes that require prep right before cooking. A childhood favorite. Prep time below includes the hour of resting time."

This recipe went from the pan into the toilet fairly quickly though not a moment before I enjoyed every succulent bite! A -
I actually made this recipe twice. The first time I didn't read the directions well (shame on me), so I wasn't prepared for the hour of sitting. I only let it sit 15 minutes....bad idea. It didn't cook well and we couldn't eat it. It wasn't fair to rate it when I was pretty sure it was my fault, so I remade it following the directions exaclty to great results. Thanks for a simple and yummy dish. Made for PAC Fall 2008.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a retired English professor and librarian. For forty years I ate on the run, working and rearing a very large family. Now I have time, and I am rediscovering cooking (and eating!). My husband and daughters like to cook as well, so we have to schedule kitchen time. I believe that exchanging recipes is a hope-filled, loving act. I can while away hours on recipezaar, reveling in its variety. I am struck again and again by the ingenuity of cooks, and by the bounty of our land, particularly in light of the stories told by my father of being so hungry in the Great Depression. Daddy, these recipes are for you.
