Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bratwurst sausages
- 1 package Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil or butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil or butter over medium heat. Add the bratwurst sausages and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
While the sausages cool, rinse and drain the sauerkraut thoroughly to remove excess liquid.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into four triangular sections.
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard onto each triangle of dough.
Layer 1/4 cup of sauerkraut and 1/4 cup of shredded Swiss cheese onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
Place one cooked bratwurst diagonally onto the sauerkraut and cheese layer on each dough triangle.
Gently roll up the dough around the bratwurst, starting from the wide end, and tuck in the sides as you go to fully enclose the filling.
Transfer the wrapped brats onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture lightly over the top of each crescent-wrapped brat for a golden finish.
Optionally, sprinkle the tops with caraway seeds for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Let the crescent-wrapped brats cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with additional Dijon mustard or your favorite dipping sauces on the side.
