How to Make Sausage Schnitzel With Quick Sauerkraut

  1. **Prepare the Sauerkraut:** Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add drained sauerkraut, caraway seeds, and sugar. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until slightly wilted but still with some crunch. Set aside.
  2. **Make the Mustard Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, and olive oil. Set aside.
  3. **Prepare the Breading Station:** Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with whisked eggs and water, and one with panko bread crumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. **Bread the Sausages:** Lightly dredge each sausage in flour, then dip in the egg wash, and finally coat thoroughly in the bread crumb mixture. Place breaded sausages on a sheet tray.
  5. **Fry the Sausages:** Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry sausages for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. **Assemble the Schnitzels:** Slice open each roll lengthwise. Stuff each roll with a fried sausage. Top with sauerkraut, drizzle with mustard sauce, and serve immediately.
