Ingredients
Instructions
- Layer the quartered bread slices in a baking dish and sprinkle the corned beef and American cheese evenly over the bread.
- Add the remaining bread slices on top to form a layered casserole.
- In a bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the milk, cream of vegetable soup, and dry mustard to make the liquid mixture.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the layered bread, corned beef, and cheese.
- Let the casserole sit for 30 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using rye bread instead of regular bread for a classic deli flavor. You can substitute the American cheese with Swiss or cheddar for a different taste. If you prefer a bit of heat, add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture. To save time, use pre-sliced corned beef or leftovers from your favorite beef recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Corned Beef Puff Sandwich warm, garnished with fresh parsley or chives for color. It pairs beautifully with a side salad or some crispy potato wedges for a complete meal. For a hearty brunch option, consider serving it alongside a fruit platter or some scrambled eggs.
