Brat & Baked Cheese Bites

How to make our brat and cheese bites

The Big Moo - Roasted Garlic Baked Cheese, is a standout among Wisconsin's cheese offerings! Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside – just add heat! Today, we're mixing these Wisconsin legends to whip up a keto-friendly appetizer that'll have your taste buds polka dancing – Brat and Baked Cheese Bites!

Ingredients:

• Brats - some of our Wisconsin favorites are Usinger's, Glenn's Market & Catering, and Bavaria Sausage Inc.
• The Big Moo - Roasted Garlic Baked Cheese 
• Dijon Mustard (optional, for serving) 
• Soft Pretzel Bites (optional, for serving) 
• Toothpicks (for serving)

Make it your own! Try adding your favorite vegetables or using different types of bratwursts! Instead of mustard, try serving the bites with a beer cheese, tangy barbecue sauce, creamy ranch dressing, or a homemade spicy aioli.

Cooking Instructions

Grill Brats and Cheese:

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the brats and whole blocks of The Big Moo - Roasted Garlic Baked Cheese directly on the grill. Grill the brats for about 15-18 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have grill marks. Grill the cheese blocks for about 7-8 minutes, or until they are slightly melted and have grill marks. 

Slice and Cut:

Remove the grilled brats from the grill and let them cool slightly. Then, slice them into rounds of your desired thickness. Similarly, cut The Big Moo blocks into 1-inch squares. We suggest using a pizza cutter for slicing the cheese when it is hot. 

Assemble Skewers:

Thread the brat slices and baked cheese squares onto toothpicks, alternating between each ingredient until all are used up. 

Serve:

Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter. Optionally, serve with mustard and soft pretzel bites on the side.

These Keto-Friendly Brat and Baked Cheese Bites are perfect for parties, game nights, or any gathering where you want to impress your guests with a taste of Wisconsin's finest. Pair them with a cold beer or a crisp glass of white wine for the ultimate indulgence in Midwest flavors!
