Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add 4 bratwurst patties and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Step 2
While patties cook, thinly slice 1 cucumber and drain 1 cup sauerkraut in a strainer, pressing to remove excess liquid.
Step 3
Split 4 sandwich rolls and toast them in a toaster or under the broiler until golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Spread 2 tbsp mayonnaise evenly on the cut sides of the rolls.
Step 5
Place a lettuce leaf on each roll bottom, then top with a cooked patty, a pile of sauerkraut, and cucumber slices.
Step 6
Close the sandwiches and serve warm.
