BRATS IN A BLANKET WITH BEER MUSTARD CHEESE SAUCE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F (220°C).
• In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add the bratwurst to the pot and pour in the beer. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the bratwurst are white and firm, but not completely cooked through. Transfer the sausages to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Reserve ½ cup of the beer and discard the rest.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the baking soda and stir to dissolve.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• While the water is boiling, roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a 10 x 6-inch (25 x 15 cm) rectangle, about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick. Cut the dough in half horizontally, then cut each half into 3 triangles.
• Set a dough in front of you with the short end at the bottom and roll out to flatten slightly. Place a sausage at the bottom of the triangle and scoop a heaping tablespoon of sauerkraut above the sausage. Pull the bottom edge of the dough over the sausage and sauerkraut, tucking snugly, then roll up and over the tip of the triangle to seal. Repeat with remaining dough, bratwurst, and sauerkraut.
• Working in batches of 2-3, carefully drop the wrapped bratwurst into the boiling water for 20-30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bratwurst and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Let the dough dry out for about 5 minutes, then brush with the egg yolks and sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the dough is deep golden brown and the bratwurst begins to brown.
• While the bratwurst are baking, make the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Whisk in the reserved beer, milk, and cream until smooth. Add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, cayenne, mustard, and kosher salt. Cook until the sauce is bubbling and thick, whisking occasionally to prevent burning, 2-4 minutes.
• Whisk in the cheddar cheese and cook for 2-3 minutes, until completely melted and smooth. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl.
• Serve the hot bratwurst in a blanket and cheese sauce immediately, along with additional sauerkraut if desired.
• Enjoy!

CRESCENT WRAPPED BRATS AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Make Ahead -- This is why I like this recipe. The Onions can be made ahead; the mustard and honey sauce can be made ahead; and the brats can even be made ahead This will save lots of time if you are having this for a party.
• Brats -- Now if pre-cooked, skip this step. If not, I like to cook mine in a in deep saute pan with 1 can of beer and a couple of cups of water (you can use all water if you want), and just simmer on medium for about 15 minutes. Follow directions on the package. I prefer to simmer rather than pan saute or grill. I don't like mine to be browned for this recipe.
• Sauerkraut -- Drain well. You don't want any liquid for this. I even set the kraut after I drain it on a paper towel and squeeze to make sure it is nice and dry.
• Mustard -- Mix the mustard and the honey and set to the side. One half is used for the brats, and 1/2 for extra dipping. You can use a store bought honey mustard if you want, but I prefer to make mine fresh.
• Wraps -- On a cookie sheet either sprayed well with a non-stick spray or I prefer to use parchment paper (no clean up), lay out the crescent rolls from the can. I use a rolling pin just to flatten a little, and to make sure all the seams are pressed together. This is KEY. ;You don't want to use the pre-cut crescent roll triangles.
• Use a pizza cutter or a knife and cut from top left corner to bottom right corner and and same on the other side to make 4 large triangles. This is a must to fit around the brat.
• NOTE: If you wanted, you could use 2 triangles (needing 2 cans of the crescent rolls) if you prefer your brat enclosed more. Personally, I prefer using one triangle, but you could always add more if necessary.
• Filling -- Now on each triangle, I use a pastry brush, but a knife will work fine - add a little of the honey mustard dressing. Then 1/4 cup of the sauerkraut on each triangle, toward the long edged end, and finally the bratwurst. Roll up, just like you would a crescent roll. You can use less kraut if you want, but 1/4 cup works for me. I think it also depends on the size of the bratwurst, and each brand is a bit different.
• Bake -- On the top of each roll, make 4-5 thin slices 1/2" apart with a knife, this will allow the kraut to heat up and cook the crust more evenly. Brush with the egg (which will give it a crisp brown crust) and sprinkle with the caraway seeds if you want. I like the caraway, but it is optional.
• Pre-heat the oven to 375, and bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
• Onions -- As the brats cook, use the same pan you cooked the brats in (liquid thrown out), and melt the butter on medium high. Add the onion and cook until soft, tender and golden, around 10 minutes. Not too brown, just tender and golden. It will take about the same time as it takes to bake the brats. You can always make the onions ahead of time.
• Serve -- Plate your wrapped brats with the extra honey mustard as a dip and the sauteed onions.
• Beer Cheese Sauce Optional -- Recipe #162043, is a great recipe but I prefer to use a sharp cheddar and a dark or amber. This is a great sauce to go with the brats. ENJOY!
