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.
