Cooktop Cove: How to make Salmon puff casserole

By Kate Elliott

If you've never thought of adding salmon to your casseroles before, I suggest you start with the recipe below. It takes flaked salmon from a can and combines it with soft cubes of bread, cream of mushroom soup (the perfect casserole base), and several eggs to make it puff up like a souffle. Cut into it and you'll see how all of these things make it one of the most surprising casseroles you may have ever made.

Not only does it look elegant when you first pull it out of the oven and it's all puffed up and golden, it's also super easy. All it takes is a few ingredients combined in a bowl and then poured into a casserole dish. Because of all the eggs in the dish, it does take a little while to cook. But it will all be worth it when you take that first scrumptious bite and surprise yourself - and everyone else around your table too!
