Bratwurst Sandwich Recipe
My husband reminisces about these bratwurst sandwiches he often had growing up in Ukraine. I make them just like the ones he remembers: a hard roll (like a hoagie or kaiser roll), sauerkraut with carrots, raw onions, mayonnaise, ketchup, and yellow mustard on the side.
Equipment
- Oven or grill
- 1 sheet-pan
Ingredients
- 6 Bread rolls, (any hard roll like hoagie, Kaiser, or Bolillo rolls) sliced lengthwise.
- 6 Smoked Beef Bratwurst Links
- 1 1/4 cup sauerkraut, (Ukrainian sauerkraut has carrots) See notes below**
- 1/2 onion, finely diced
- 6 tbsp mayonnaise
- Additional Toppings: ketchup, yellow mustard, grated carrots
Instructions
- Warm the bread rolls or toast in the oven until golden brown on the broil setting. I often skip this step.
- Line a sheet pan with foil and place all the bratwursts on top. Broil the bratwursts in the oven on all sides until nicely browned and sizzling (about 10-15 minutes).
- To assemble bratwurst sandwiches, spread one heaping tablespoon of mayonnaise onto each roll. Then add a bratwurst, drizzle the top with ketchup, and add mustard if desired. Top with a tablespoon of chopped raw onions, sauerkraut, and carrots**. Serve.
Notes
- Ukrainian sauerkraut is typically made with grated carrots. If using regular sauerkraut, grate a carrot on the side and use it as a topping.
