Beer Brats in Blankets and Smoked Gouda Fondue
Savory bratwurst, simmered in dark German lager, wrapped in puff pastry, and served with a rich and smooth Smoked Gouda Fondue.
Ingredients
For the brats
- 2 bottles Warsteiner Dunkel beer
- 1 (19 oz) pkg uncooked bratwurst sausages (5 brats)
- 1 (17.3 oz) pkg puff pastry dough, thawed
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard divided
- 1 large egg plus 1 Tbs water to make an egg wash
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
For the smoked gouda fondue
- 1 cup Warsteiner Dunkel beer
- 8 oz smoked Gouda cheese shredded
- 4 oz Vermont white sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese
Instructions
- In a large pot, put the brats to simmer in 2 beers for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board until cool enough to handle.
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- Lay out the puff pastry dough. Shmere with a ~tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Wrap the brats in puffed pastry, then slice to 1-1/2 inch slices. Stand each piece up on a bake sheet. Brush each with egg wash, then sprinkle sesame seeds over top. Bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- While brats are cooking, prepare the Smoked Gouda Fondue: in a medium saucepan or small crockpot, add the remaining 8 ounces of beer and 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard. Add the cheeses and heat, stirring often, until cheeses are melted and mixture is smooth.
- Serve the Beer Brats in Blankets with the Smoked Gouda Fondue. Yields approximately 26 party bites.
