Ingredients Needed
I’ve highlighted a couple of ingredients below with some relevant notes. Aside from this, the ingredients needed are pretty basic.
- Cheddar cheese – When it comes to having shredded cheese in a recipe, you can buy pre-shredded in the store but when you shred your own, it doesn’t have the caking ingredient that prevents cheese from sticking together in the package, and that means your cheese won’t have the powdery texture. So if you’re able, it’s best to shred your own cheese.
- Sausage – I use mild ground sausage but you can use hot and spicy if you prefer a “kick” to recipes like I like to use in this sausage and tortellini soup. Or you can also use baked sausage links if needed as a substitute in a pinch.
- Milk – the type of milk used is up to you! Skim, 2%, whole, or even almond, soy, or coconut milk should work.
- Salt – the amount of salt is up to you. Remember that bacon and sausage have a lot of salt already so you won’t want to overdo it, and you can always add salt but it’s harder to take it away.

Making this now! There isn’t any instruction on when to add the cheese…..I added most of it in the egg mixture then the rest on the top. Can’t wait to try it!

Oh shoot! You’re right Christy, so sorry about that! I went in and updated the recipe. 🙂 Yep! Adding it in to the mixture is what to do! Course, having some on top sounds pretty good too! Enjoy!
