3-4Spanish manzanilla olivessliced into 12 thin slices
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375℉.
Cut a slit lengthwise in the bratwurst without cutting completely through. Press a stick of cheese into the slit of each bratwurst. Set aside.
6 fully cooked bratwurst, 6 sticks Cheddar cheese
Unroll the crescent dough and cut it into twelve even strips. Wrap two strips around each brat, alternating direction, to achieve a "mummy" look. Place two olive slices for the eyes on one end of each bratwurst.
Transfer the brats to a parchment-paper-lined sheet pan. Bake them until the crescent dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted, approximately 15 minutes. Serve with ketchup and mustard for dipping.
Notes
If you use the original crescent roll dough, unroll it and press the seams together to form one rectangular piece. Then, proceed with cutting the dough into strips.
Any fully cooked sausage can be used in place of bratwurst.
To prepare in advance, assemble the brats, wrap them tightly, and refrigerate for up to one day. Bake them when ready to serve.
