Ingredients
  

1 lb kielbasa, sliced

2 cups sauerkraut, drained and rinsed

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

1 teaspoon caraway seeds

1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)

1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion in a drizzle of olive oil until translucent, about 4 minutes.

      Add the minced garlic and sliced kielbasa to the skillet, cooking until the kielbasa is nicely browned, about 5-7 minutes.

        Stir in the drained sauerkraut and caraway seeds, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

          In a bowl, mix together the sautéed mixture, shredded Swiss cheese, mustard, and black pepper until well combined.

            Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan.

              Spoon the kielbasa and sauerkraut mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

                Cover with the second pie crust, trimming any excess. Crimp the edges to seal the pie, and make a few slits in the top crust for steam to escape.

                  Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

                    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.

                      Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

                          - Presentation Tips: Slice the pie into wedges and serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
