FAQs & Tips

Is this healthy?

Nope. But it is really good! 

Is this a traditional souffle?

Of course not. It’s cooked in the slow cooker! This is common slow cooker recipe that I modified to my liking. The common part of this recipe is the base: 8 slices of bread, 8 ounces of cheese, 2 cups of milk, 4 eggs, and your preferred seasonings.

What type of bread should you use?

You can use the bread that fits your dietary needs whether it be whole wheat, gluten-free, etc. I use plain white bread.

How will you know this is done?

You’ll know this is done when you stick a knife in the middle and it comes out clean. Unfortunately, this is not a recipe that can stay on the warm setting. Once it’s done cooking, you will need to turn off the heat otherwise the bottom will start to burn. 

When do you serve this?

Anytime! Breakfast, brunch, dinner, main course, side dish, heck you can even serve this for dessert.

Can you double this recipe?

Yes! Feeding a larger crowd? Double the ingredients and use a larger,  6-quart slow cooker.

How do you store leftovers?

Store leftover slow cooker cheese soufflé in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

What size slow cooker did you use?

I used a 3.5 quart slow cooker.
