Sounds Bad...Tastes Good, Foodie Friday

     I haven't been cooking much lately, but I decided it was time to try a few new recipes. I had torn out a recipe for Reuben Pie from a magazine quite some time ago. After reading it, I knew I would make a few adjustments of my own before trying it. It was a huge success at my house. We loved it!

The ingredients are fairly simple and affordable.

What I love about this was how quickly it went together.

Ingredients

Crust:

1 1/3 cup crushed Triscuit Crackers (I used regular Triscuits, rye would be also be good)

1 T. flour

3 T. butter, melted

Combine and press into bottom of a 9" pie plate or tart pan. Bake 10 minutes at 375 degrees.

Filling:

2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

2-2 oz. packages deli style corned beef, sliced into strips

1/2 cup sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained

4 eggs

1 cup half and half

1 T. flour

1/2 tsp. dry mustard

1/4 tsp. salt

Remove crust from the oven and top with 1/2 of the cheese, the corned beef, sauerkraut and remaining cheese. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, cream, flour, mustard and salt and gently pour over the assembled "pie". Bake in a 375 oven for 30-35 minutes, until the top is brown and a knife inserted comes out clean. Slice into wedges and serve with fruit or a green salad.

Is there anything better than freshly grated Swiss cheese?

     The finished pie is cheesey, chewy and very good. I also think I would like it with a little 1000 Island Dressing served on the side to drizzle over the top for that authentic Reuben Sandwich taste.
