Although I titled this for breakfast, it's good any time of day. :). Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil or 1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
2 large frozen hash browns (the oval or rectangular shaped ones) |
3/4 cup naturally fermented sauerkraut, drained (we like bubbie's brand) or 3/4 cup rinsed and drained regular sauerkraut |
4 tablespoons applesauce |
1 teaspoon butter, softened |
6 slices of good quality pastrami (thin slices) |
1/3 cup of your favorite thousand island dressing (we make our own, see thousand island dressing our way #114916) |
1/2 cup finely-shredded swiss cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat, and add the 1 teaspoon oil.
2. Lightly brown the frozen hashbrowns, about 4 minutes per side; carefully remove from skillet (you don't want them to lose their shape) and set aside.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F; butter an 11x7x2-inch baking pan.
4. In a bowl, combine the sauerkraut and applesauce; set aside.
5. Place the hash brown patties in the greased baking pan and spread softened butter on each.
6. Layer each patty with: 3 slices pastrami, sauerkraut mixture, Thousand Island dressing, and Swiss cheese.
7. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes or until the patties are crisped to your liking.
8. Note: you can skip the hashbrown pre-browning steps (in the skillet), if you like, but I like my hashbrowns very crispy and so prefer them pre-browned.
