  Chef's tip

  Use the same amount. Pick the form that matches the recipe - ground-style if the sausage is crumbled, links if it stays whole. If the package says precooked, add it later in cooking and just heat it through.
• 

  1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 

  1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 

  4 cups cubed day-old white sandwich bread (about 6 slices), cut into 1-inch cubes

• 

  1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  Required swap

  Chef's tip

  If the dish is baked or melted, cover it or keep the heat gentle - dairy-free shreds melt more slowly than dairy cheese.
• 

  8 large eggs
• 

  1 cup whole milk
  Required swap

  Chef's tip

  Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
• 

  ½ cup heavy cream
  Required swap

  Chef's tip

  Use unsweetened dairy-free heavy cream in cooked sauces, soups, and ganache. For whipped uses, choose a product labeled whippable.
