Our Aunt Renee always brought this casserole to family picnics in Chicago. It became so popular that she started bringing two or three. I have also made it using dark rye bread or marbled rye, and ham instead of corned beef-all the variations are delicious! -Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona

Yield Serves 6 to 8 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

12 oval slices pumpernickel
1 medium onion
1 pound thinly sliced corned beef
1 cup squeezed drained sauerkraut
1 cup coarsely grated Havarti cheese (about 4 ounces)
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons coarse-grained mustard
4 cups milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

Cut bread into 3/4-inch cubes (7 1/2 cups). In a large baking pan dry bread, uncovered, at room temperature 12 hours. (Alternatively, dry bread in a 250°F oven 1 hour.)
Butter a 4-quart shallow baking dish (14 by 10 by 2 inches).
Finely chop onion and cut corned beef into 1/4-inch-wide strips. In baking dish layer half of bread, half of sauerkraut, half of onion, half of corned beef, and half of Havarti and season with salt and pepper. Repeat layering and season mixture with salt and pepper.
In a bowl whisk together eggs, mustard, milk, and salt and pepper to taste and pour slowly and evenly over bread mixture. Cut butter into bits and dot pudding with it. Chill pudding, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bake pudding in middle of oven until bubbling and slightly puffed, about 40 minutes. (There will be some liquid remaining in bottom of baking dish.)

Tips:

Use high-quality, flavorful ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final taste of your bread pudding.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread pudding tough.
Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. This will allow it to set and make it easier to slice.
Serve the bread pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include whipped cream, ice cream, and fresh fruit.
