Treat your ingredients with care...

• Bavarian sausages — Use traditional Bavarian sausages such as Weisswurst or Bratwurst for an authentic flavor.
• Sauerkraut — Make sure to drain the sauerkraut well to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
• Bavarian mustard — Look for a good quality Bavarian mustard with a strong flavor to enhance the taste of the spring rolls.
• Emmental cheese — You can substitute Emmental cheese with any other mild melting cheese like Gouda or Swiss.

Tips & Tricks

• To make the spring rolls extra crispy, you can double fry them. After the initial frying, let them cool for a few minutes, then fry them again until golden brown.
• Serve the Bavarian Spring Rolls with a side of Bavarian sweet mustard for dipping.
• If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can substitute the Bavarian sausages with grilled mushrooms or tofu.
