Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices rye bread
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cups sliced corned beef
- 1.5 cups sauerkraut
- 2 cups Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon ground caraway seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Butter one side of each rye bread slice with the softened unsalted butter. Cut the slices into bite-sized cubes and layer half of them evenly in the prepared baking dish, buttered side up.
Layer half of the corned beef evenly on top of the bread cubes, followed by half of the sauerkraut and half of the Swiss cheese.
Drizzle half of the Thousand Island dressing over the cheese layer. Repeat the layers with the remaining bread cubes, corned beef, sauerkraut, cheese, and dressing.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground caraway seeds (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire casserole, making sure all layers are moistened.
Let the casserole sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the egg mixture.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting into portions and serving.
