Ingredients:
- 1 pound bulk pork sausage – The star of this sandwich, offering a rich and flavorful base.
- 1 cup sauerkraut – Provides a tangy contrast to the savory sausage.
- 2 teaspoons caraway seeds – Adds a distinctive, aromatic flavor to the sauerkraut.
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar – Balances the tanginess with a hint of sweetness.
- 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard – Infuses a zesty kick into the sauerkraut mixture.
- 2 rye bagels – The perfect, hearty vessel for all the delicious fillings.
- 1/4 cup Swiss cheese – Melts beautifully over the sausage, adding a creamy texture.
Instructions:
-
Shape and Cook Sausage Patties: Begin by forming the bulk pork sausage into 4 evenly sized patties. Place a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties until they are well-browned and cooked through, approximately 5 minutes on each side. Once done, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess fat.
-
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking.
-
Prepare Sauerkraut Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine the sauerkraut, caraway seeds, brown sugar, and spicy brown mustard. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it becomes hot and the flavors meld together.
-
Assemble Bagels: Spread a layer of the sauerkraut mixture on each half of the rye bagels. Place a sausage patty on top of each sauerkraut-covered bagel half. Add a generous layer of the remaining sauerkraut mixture over the sausage patties and sprinkle with Swiss cheese.
-
Wrap and Bake: Carefully wrap each assembled bagel in aluminum foil, ensuring they are fully enclosed. Place the foil-wrapped bagels on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. This allows the cheese to melt beautifully and all the flavors to meld together.
-
Serve Hot: After baking, unwrap the bagels and serve them hot. Enjoy the irresistible combination of savory sausage, tangy sauerkraut, and gooey melted cheese. 😋🔥
