Who doesn't love a good casserole? Germans like to bake sweet, egg soufflé - like casseroles with fruit in them to be served as a main course at lunch. There is a long tradition of "Mehlspeisen" or "Süßspeisen" in Germany and especially Austria, which was part of the larger Austro-Hungarian Empire and exchanged food ideas with Bohemia and the Czechs, among others. The flour, egg and potato - rich dishes were born from hunger, how to make a little go a long way.

While sweet main dishes are odd for people outside of Germany and eastern Europe, the traditional Quark Auflauf would be great for a brunch dish, just like bread pudding or Germknödel.
