Steps

• Prepare the Brioche Dough
• Combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
• Add the softened butter, eggs, and milk to the bowl.
• Mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
• Prepare the Strasbourg Sausage Filling
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Make a lengthwise slit in each Strasbourg sausage, being careful not to cut all the way through.
• Spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard inside each sausage.
• Stuff each sausage with grated Gruyere cheese.
• Assemble and Bake
• Punch down the risen brioche dough and divide it into 4 equal portions.
• Roll out each portion into a rectangle large enough to wrap around a sausage.
• Place a stuffed sausage in the center of each dough rectangle.
• Fold the dough over the sausage, sealing the edges.
• Place the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the tops of the sausages with beaten egg for a shiny finish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the brioche is golden brown and the sausages are cooked through.

Tips

• Serve the Strasbourg sausage in brioche with a side of sauerkraut and mustard for a traditional Alsatian meal.
• You can make the brioche dough and sausage filling ahead of time and assemble just before baking for a quicker preparation.
