Alsatian pie
12 servings
60 minutes
Alsatian pie is a culinary creation that embodies the traditions of German cuisine. Its history is closely linked to the Alsace regions where chefs skillfully combined simple yet rich ingredients. This pie surprises with its delicate flaky crust infused with the aromas of sour cream and caraway, while crispy cabbage with onions adds a light sweetness. Cross-cut tomatoes burst in the oven, adding juiciness to the dish, and smoked pork adds savory notes. Cheese melts into a golden crust, and a mixture of eggs and spices completes the flavor symphony. The Alsatian pie is not just a treat but a tribute to centuries-old culinary traditions.
