Preparation

  1. 1.
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the Bavarian sausages. Cook for 10 minutes or until fully cooked.

    In a separate pan, heat the sauerkraut over medium heat until warmed through.

  6. 6.
    To assemble the Bavarian Breakfast, slice each pretzel in half and spread butter on each side. Place a slice of Emmental cheese on one half of each pretzel. Top with a cooked sausage, sauerkraut, and a fried egg. Season with salt and pepper.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Bavarian sausages — Make sure to fully cook the sausages before assembling the breakfast.
  • Pretzels — Warm the pretzels in the oven to enhance their flavor and texture.
  • Sauerkraut — Heat the sauerkraut separately to ensure it is warmed through.
  • Emmental cheese — Choose a high-quality Emmental cheese for its distinct flavor.
  • Eggs — Fry the eggs until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny for a perfect breakfast topping.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a spicier twist, add a dollop of Bavarian mustard on top of the sausages.
  • If you can't find pretzels, you can substitute with crusty bread rolls.
  • Serve the Bavarian Breakfast with a side of fresh tomatoes or cucumber slices for a refreshing contrast.
  • Experiment with different types of Bavarian sausages to vary the flavors.
  • If you prefer your eggs fully cooked, fry them until the yolks are set.

Serving advice

Serve the Bavarian Breakfast hot and fresh. It pairs well with a cup of strong Bavarian coffee or a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Presentation advice

Arrange the Bavarian Breakfast on a large platter, placing the pretzels at the center and arranging the sausages, sauerkraut, and fried eggs around them. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
