Brats, Brats, Brats, and more Brats

Brats, brats, brats, and more brats. You’d think that after the high of Oktoberfest, bratwurst would be the last thing on my mind. Think again…instead it’s exactly what my fridge is filled with; left over brats. After pulling the box of bratwurst out for dinner the other night, my oldest daughter Lindsey (who is never hesitant to voice her opinion) announced “Mom, enough! After last week I don’t want to see another brat for at least a year”. Thus I am forced to put my motto to good use “reuse, recycle, reinvent”!
Bratwursts are something that there is never a shortage of around Berghoff. We sell countless a day, but also use them in numerous other recipes. Some of the classics are Brat, Kraut, and Swiss Cheese Pizza with Caraway Crust, and Brat & Spatezle Soup. However this week at home I was looking for something different, gluten-free, and that my whole family would enjoy. We just happen to have an abundance of eggs (thanks to our dear friend who drops off fresh food from his at home farm), and every now and then we love a good breakfast dinner. Thus the idea for a Brat Frittata arose. It’s the perfect solution to reusing the left over brats as well as a great way to sneak vegetables into my kids’ diets. I personally love a Spinach, Mushroom and Brat Frittata, but you can add or hold whatever vegetables you like. How will you reuse your leftovers in reinventing classic favorite dishes?
Cheers!
