Instructions
Prepare the Bratwurst
- 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2In a small bowl, combine the whole grain mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- 3Place the bratwurst on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the mustard mixture evenly over the bratwurst.
- 4Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the mustard coating, pressing gently to adhere.
Bake the Bratwurst
- 1Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bratwurst is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and slightly crispy. Turn halfway through for even browning.
Make the Sauerkraut Salad
- 1While the bratwurst is baking, prepare the sauerkraut salad. In a medium bowl, combine the rinsed and drained sauerkraut, diced apple, red onion, and chopped dill.
- 2In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and sugar (if using).
- 3Pour the dressing over the sauerkraut mixture. Toss gently to combine.
- 4Season the sauerkraut salad with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
- 1Serve the mustard-crusted bratwurst warm alongside the fresh sauerkraut salad.

Tips
- For an extra crispy crust, toast the bread crumbs lightly before applying them to the bratwurst.
- Ensure the oven temperature is accurate to achieve perfectly golden-brown bratwurst without burning the crust.
- Allow the sauerkraut salad to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
