Nuremberg bratwurst and sauerkraut pizza made from puff pastry

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 8 Nuremberg bratwursts
• 1 pkt. sauerkraut, approx. 500 g
• 250 g quark
• 50 g sour cream or crème fraîche
• 2 eggs
• Pizza seasoning and pepper
• 1 pkt. cheese, grated, approx. 150 – 200 g (e.g. pizza cheese, Emmental, Edam)
• 1 pc. puff pastry from the refrigerated section
• Ham, smoked meat, bacon, mushrooms, as desired

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Grill or fry the sausages and cut into bite-sized pieces. Mix the quark with the sour cream, eggs, cheese, and sauerkraut, and season with pizza seasoning and pepper. Depending on your taste or to use up leftovers, you can also add chopped ham, mushrooms, bacon, or something similar. I don’t use salt here; the ingredients are salty enough. Now spread the puff pastry on a baking sheet (I put an extra layer of baking paper underneath just in case). Spread the quark and sauerkraut mixture over the dough. Then press the sausage pieces into the mixture so that they are almost covered. Bake in a preheated oven at approximately 220°C for 15-20 minutes, until everything is nice and crispy and golden brown. Delicious hot or cold. Tip: If you don’t add ham or anything similar, you should use 12 grilled sausages. As a main meal with a salad, this is enough for 4 people. Cut into small pieces for a buffet or finger food.
