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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

While the sausages cool, rinse and drain the sauerkraut thoroughly to remove excess liquid.

Step 4

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into four triangular sections.

Step 5

Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard onto each triangle of dough.

Step 6

Layer 1/4 cup of sauerkraut and 1/4 cup of shredded Swiss cheese onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.

Step 7

Place one cooked bratwurst diagonally onto the sauerkraut and cheese layer on each dough triangle.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Transfer the wrapped brats onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Optionally, sprinkle the tops with caraway seeds for added flavor.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 13

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.
