Ingredients

  • 2 St. Galler Bratwurst (Olma Bratwurst)
  • 2 Bürli (crusty Swiss bread rolls)
  • A little butter or oil for the pan (optional)

Steps

1

Heat a grill or heavy pan to medium heat. Do not prick the sausages — you want the juices to stay inside.

2

Grill the Bratwurst for about 10-12 minutes, turning regularly, until evenly golden-brown and the skin is taut and crispy.

3

Warm the Bürli briefly on the grill or in the oven.

4

Serve immediately. Tear the Bürli by hand, take alternating bites of Bratwurst and bread. No mustard.

Tips

The key is patience — medium heat, not high. You want the inside to cook through gently while the outside gets an even golden crust. If the skin bursts, the heat was too high.
