Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    While patties cook, thinly slice 1 cucumber and drain 1 cup sauerkraut in a strainer, pressing to remove excess liquid.

  3. Step 3

    Split 4 sandwich rolls and toast them in a toaster or under the broiler until golden, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Spread 2 tbsp mayonnaise evenly on the cut sides of the rolls.

  5. Step 5

    Place a lettuce leaf on each roll bottom, then top with a cooked patty, a pile of sauerkraut, and cucumber slices.

  6. Step 6

    Close the sandwiches and serve warm.
