This recipe is awesome. I use milk instead of cream, a cup and a half, and I add 1/2t of nutmeg because it the heart of the flavor. Any cheese you like works. Cook your sausage in about 1t of prepared mustard....TRUST ME! SUPER!

We loved this! Substituted half and half for the cream, swiss for the cheese and fresh mushrooms for canned. Other than that followed the recipe as written. Enjoyed it Christmas morning for breakfast. There were just a few servings left and they reheated well in the microwave. Thanks!
