How to Make Salmon Puff

  1. Preheat your microwave.
  2. Drain and flake 1 (14.75 ounce) can of salmon.
  3. Place 1 cup croutons in a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole dish.
  4. Sprinkle 1 cup (approximately 170g) flaked salmon and 1 cup (approximately 100g) shredded cheddar cheese over the croutons.
  5. Repeat layers 3 and 4: Add another layer of croutons, salmon, and cheese.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the salmon and cheese layers.
  8. Cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
  9. Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  10. Microwave on high power for 8-10 minutes.
  11. Reduce microwave power to 70% and cook for another 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown and the center is set.
  12. Let the Salmon Puff stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
