    (14 ounce) sauerkraut, drained
  • 1/2 cup
    sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon

  • 2 tablespoons

Preparation

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • 2
    Prepare the links according to package instructions. Cool slightly, and then cut into half-moon slices.
  • 3
    In a large sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the sausage and sauerkraut heat through.
  • 4
    In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, garlic, dill and caraway. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • 5
    Spray two baking sheets with non-stick spray. Unfold one sheet of puff pastry on each baking sheet.
  • 6
    Spread the sour-cream mixture over each pastry sheet to within 1/2 inch of the edge. Spoon the sausage mixture down the center of each pastry sheet.
  • 7
    Top with cheese. Lightly brush the edges with water. Fold the long pastry side of each sheet over the filling and pinch the ends together to seal.
  • 8
    With a sharp knife, pierce the strudels to create steam vents. Brush the tops of the strudels with water. Sprinkle with the poppy and sesame seeds.
  • 9
    Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Made this for dinner a few nights ago. I actually used the precooked Johnson ville stadium brats to cut down on prep time. Turned out amazing. My wife who isn't even huge in to German style food loved it. Going to try to make a bite sized version for a Oktoberfest party coming up.
