I had to make some changes due to not having the correct ingredients, but stayed with the recipe for the most part. I did not have any phyllo dough, so I used a can of Crescent dough instead and did not roll it up. I spread the mustard over the crescent dough (which I rolled out into one huge rectangle in the pan) and then placed the sauerkraut mixture over the mustard, placed the slices of bratwurst on top then baked as instructed in the recipe. Once it was done, I put the mustard sauce over the brat slices and then sprinkled on the paprika. It turned out really good. My DH and I both loved it. Thanks Amis for a wonderful recipe.
