Spicy Polish sausage or Bratwurst are wrapped in a simple-to-prepare flaky pastry that is made with cottage cheese. After baking, you slice each bundle into 1-inch pieces; serve speared with a cocktail pick.
Pastry coated sausages can be prepared in advance and refrigerated. Bake and slice just before serving.
Add additional mustard if desired. May use your favorite mustard in place of the Dijon.
