Savory sauerkraut roll-ups wrapped in flaky crescent dough with a hearty onion filling, perfect for comforting dinners or as a unique appetizer for cabbage lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Saute chopped onion in butter until translucent.
- Mix rinsed and drained sauerkraut with the cooked onion in a skillet; add bay leaf, salt, and pepper, then simmer until tender, stirring occasionally.
- Let the sauerkraut mixture cool.
- Unroll the crescent rolls and tear along the perforations to separate into triangles.
- Place each triangle with the wide part toward you.
- Put some sauerkraut mixture on each triangle and roll up away from you.
- Place the roll-ups on a cookie sheet, brush with beaten egg, and bake for 15 minutes at 350°F or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating some caraway seeds into the sauerkraut mixture or using a different type of onion, such as sweet onion. You can substitute the Pillsbury crescent rolls with puff pastry for a flakier texture. If you prefer a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of butter for sautéing the onions.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sauerkraut roll-ups with a side of mustard or your favorite dipping sauce for a delightful contrast. They pair beautifully with a fresh salad or a side of roasted potatoes. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside a dish like Hot Chow-Chow Relish to enhance the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover sauerkraut roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through. This helps to retain the crispiness of the crescent rolls.
