SAUERKRAUT STRUDEL (AKA KRAUTSTRUDEL) WITH BACON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 F.
• Dice the bacon and cook in a pan over medium heat until it renders the fat but is not yet crispy. Drain on paper towel and saute the diced onion in the rendered bacon fat. Cool down.
• In a bowl combine the drained sauerkraut, bacon, onion, egg, bread crumbs, seasonings. Mix well together.
• Roll out the puff pastry sheets, brush with half the melted butter. Reserve the rest.
• Spread half of the sauerkraut mixture over each sheet, roll and pinch to tuck in the ends. Place each strudel seam side down onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
• Bake for 35 minutes or a bit longer, until nicely golden brown. Let cool down a bit before cutting in sliced with a serrated knife.
• Serve with sour cream or mustard as a dip.
