Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use a good bakery-quality bread that won’t disintegrate when baking. Regular thickness slices are fine.
  • Make the dish the night before so the egg has time to soak into every bite.
  • If your casserole starts getting too brown, cover the top lightly with foil.

Make It A Meal

Serve this Cuban Sandwich Casserole with a light salad or some steamed vegetables to balance out the richness.  For brunch, serve it with fresh fruit, smoked candied bacon or a mimosa.

Storage

Leftover casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it in a low oven or microwave for best results. For longer storage, freeze individual portions in airtight containers and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. This casserole maintains its texture and flavor remarkably well, making it a great make-ahead dish for busy weeks.
