Easy Sauerkraut & Bacon Quiche Recipe

October 18, 2021 by Sylvia Rose 7 Comments

This sauerkraut and bacon quiche recipe will tickle your tastebuds in the best possible way. It’s super easy to make, too!

Quiche is a versatile dish that can be served at practically any meal. Leftover quiche makes a quick and easy breakfast, and no one is going to complain if there’s a fresh quiche at the brunch table. In the winter, eat it warm, just barely out of the oven. In summer, serve it cold to help beat the heat.

If you don’t welcome gluten in your life, turn it into a frittata, eliminating the crust to make it keto-friendly. And the flavour! Oh my gosh, it’s superb. Raw sauerkraut is tamed with smoky bacon, sauteed onions, and a hint of dry white wine.

I think you’re going to love this unique quiche recipe, but try it out and see for yourself…

WHAT ARE GERMAN POTATO PANCAKES?

Growing up, German potato pancakes were a special treat on our table. Of course, we just called them potato pancakes, but when I asked my mom for her recipe, she looked at me blankly.

MAKING CAST IRON SKILLET MEATBALLS

First off, you don’t need a cast-iron skillet to make these homemade meatballs.

If you’re finishing off the meatballs in the oven, however, I do recommend using an oven-safe pan.

The reason I recommend cast iron? Because I’m a hardcore fan and think cast-iron cookware is the bee’s knees.
