| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Smoked bratwurst sausages | 2 lb | Fully cooked |
| Sharp cheddar cheese | 2 cups | Shredded |
| Sugar-free yellow mustard | ½ cup | Plus extra for serving |
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it.
Cut the bratwurst into even ½-inch rounds to ensure consistent cooking and browning.
In a bowl, combine shredded cheddar with mustard until the cheese is lightly coated and clumped together.
Place bratwurst slices cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Top each piece with a small mound of the cheddar mixture, pressing gently so it stays in place.
Bake for 12–18 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned at the edges and the sausage is hot throughout.
Let the bites rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Carefully lift from the pan and serve warm with extra mustard on the side.
