Sauerkraut in Puff Pastry Pouches

Thaw puff pastry. Preheat oven to 200 °c. Take Sauerkraut from the foil and drain well. Then fry the sausages in a pan until golden brown.

Roll out the puff pastry - but not too thin! - and divide into 6 squares. First place the smoked ham on each square, then a portion of sauerkraut and finally a sausage. Cover only about half of the total area of the pastry square, leaving enough dough to close it!

Turn up the ends of the pastry squares and press together over the filling. Place an egg yolk in a cup and sprinkle the pastries with it. Preheat oven to 200 °C and bake on the middle rack for approx. 20 minutes.

These golden yellow and delicate tasting sauerkraut pouches are an original party snack. They taste particularly good lukewarm with a cool beer!
