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.
