Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 bratwurst sausages
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or your favorite mustard)
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 4 soft hoagie buns
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the bratwurst sausages on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sausages are browned and cooked through.
- While the brats are cooking, heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the brats are done, remove them from the oven and place them in the buns.
- Spread a layer of mustard on the inside of each bun. Top each brat with caramelized onions and a spoonful of sauerkraut.
- Serve the oven-baked brats hot, with extra mustard on the side.
Notes
- If you prefer a spicy kick, use spicy mustard or add jalapeños to the brats.
- For a more indulgent version, you can add melted cheese on top of the caramelized onions.
- These brats can also be served with a side of potato salad or coleslaw for a more hearty meal.
