ALTDEUTSCHER SAUERKRAUT-KUCHEN (GERMAN SAUERKRAUT PIE)



Altdeutscher Sauerkraut-Kuchen (German Sauerkraut Pie) image

A traditional German recipe that may be an acquired taste for some. This is similar to a quiche, but less eggy. If you can't find bacon you can dice, I think diced Canadian bacon or cooked dice ham would also be nice in this. TIP: If you use kitchen shears to chop up your sauerkraut before adding it to the recipe, it will be easier to cut the pie.

  • Squeeze out the excess moisture: After rinsing, squeeze out the excess moisture from the sauerkraut using a cheesecloth or a colander.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses in your sauerkraut pie. Some popular choices include cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Add some spices: To enhance the flavor of your sauerkraut pie, consider adding some spices such as caraway seeds, dill, or black pepper.
