Servings:4

Ingredient

4 fresh bratwurst
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)
1/4 cup spicy coarse-grained mustard
1 cup sauerkraut, well drained on paper towels
1 egg, slightly beaten
Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

Step 1
Heat oven to 375°F.

Step 2
In 3-quart saucepan, heat enough water to cook bratwurst to boiling. Add bratwurst; boil 8 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Drain; set aside.

Step 3
Unroll dough; separate into 4 rectangles and press seams to seal. Use knife to make 4 angled slices on short sides of each rectangle, leaving about 3 inches of uncut dough in center.

Step 4
Spread 1 tablespoon mustard over uncut dough of each rectangle. Spread about 1/4 cup sauerkraut over mustard on each; top each with 1 cooked bratwurst. Bring dough strips up over bratwurst on each to form a braid. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush each with beaten egg; sprinkle with pepper.

Step 5
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until deep golden brown. If desired, serve with extra mustard.

Recipe Tips

Serve with beans or potato salad for a heartier German-inspired dinner.
