Germany Hamburg Open Sandwich Recipes

STRAMMER MAX

Steps:

• Cut two slices of rye bread. We usually cut thick slices when making Strammer Max - as this is what Lisa's family used to do growing up. If you prefer, you can cut the slices thinner.
• If you like, you can toast your bread in a toaster until slightly brown. We usually skip this step since fresh rye bread tastes delicious not toasted.
• Carefully butter your bread and add two slices of cured ham on each slice. Optional: Add a few slices of raw onions on top of the ham.
• Heat up your frying pan with a little bit of oil and crack the two eggs into it. Be careful to not break the yolk. Add pepper to taste. Fry your egg sunny-side up (yolk up) for approx. 6 minutes. The yolk should still be slightly runny.
• Using a spatula/flipper, gently place the fried egg on top of your bread and ham. Serve, and enjoy hot!

BIEROCKS - OLD FASHIONED VOLGA GERMAN HAMBURGERS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Dough: In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Mix in milk, sugar, margarine, eggs, salt, baking powder, and 1/2 of the flour. Beat until smooth; add shortening and remaining flour until dough pulls together. Place in oiled bowl. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. Filling: In a large skillet, brown hamburger and sausage together. Drain, saving drippings in the skillet, and set aside. Add the 2 tablespoons olive oil. Saute onion, garlic, salt, lemon pepper, and mustard for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cup of water, cabbage, and meat mixture. Simmer 30 minutes. Drain any excess fluid. Cool until lukewarm-about the same time it takes the dough to rise. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Punch down dough and divide (20 pieces for appetizers; 10 pieces for entrees). Roll each piece of dough into a 1/8-1/4-inch thick square on a lightly floured surface and add filling (2 to 3 tablespoons for appetizers; 4 to 5 tablespoons for entrees). Fold corners to the center and pinch to seal edges. Place on prepared cookie sheet with pinched edges down. Let rise for 1 hour. If desired, brush dough with melted butter or egg wash (1 egg white with 2 tablespoons water). Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with butter (if not already done) and serve warm.
