Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Rye bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 12 ounces Corned beef
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
Lightly butter both sides of the rye bread slices. Arrange the slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly to cover the entire base.
Layer half of the corned beef over the bread slices, followed by half of the Swiss cheese slices and half of the sauerkraut.
Drizzle half of the Thousand Island dressing over the top of the sauerkraut layer. Repeat the layers with the remaining corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and dressing.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, caraway seeds (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring all areas are moistened.
Gently press down with a spatula to help the bread absorb the egg mixture and to compact the layers slightly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden and the casserole is set in the middle.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before slicing and serving warm.
