GRILLED CHEESE-STUFFED SAUSAGES WITH CHARRED VEGETABLES — AUSTRIAN KÄSEKRANER STYLE AT HOME

Inspired by the beloved Austrian Käse Krainer sausages—pork sausages filled with juicy meat and melting cheese—this recipe recreates that irresistible combination on the grill. Juicy sausages split and grilled to crispy perfection, topped with instant-melted cheese, paired with grilled baguette and vibrant vegetables for a perfect casual feast.

🕒 Prep Time: 15 min

🍳 Cook Time: 15-20 min
🍽️ Yields: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 pork and ham sausages (about 100 g each)
  • 50 g melting cheese (like kashkaval or mild cheddar), grated
  • 2 mini baguettes
  • 2 bell peppers or Kapia peppers (1 red, 1 green), cut into large chunks
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced into rounds
  • 2 mildly spicy Bulgarian peppers
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced into rounds
  • Salt, freshly ground black pepper, dried oregano
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables

  • Slice the onion into rounds, tomatoes into rounds, and bell peppers into large pieces. Keep the Bulgarian peppers whole.
  • Cut sausages lengthwise halfway through to open them (like a butterfly cut).
  • Slice baguettes in half lengthwise.

2. Grill the Baguettes and Vegetables

  • Heat a grill pan over high heat for at least 5 minutes, then reduce heat to medium.
  • Brush baguette halves with olive oil and grill cut-side down for about 2 minutes until grill marks appear.
  • Brush onion slices with oil on both sides, grill 3 minutes per side until sweetly fragrant, then sprinkle with salt. Remove to a plate.
  • Brush bell peppers with oil and grill about 6-7 minutes per side. Press down using a grill press or a foil-wrapped brick to flatten them for even cooking. Sprinkle with salt and remove.
  • Grill Bulgarian peppers 4 minutes per side until nicely charred; remove to a plate.
  • Grill tomato slices 1.5 minutes per side, sprinkle with salt, and remove.

3. Grill the Sausages

  • Place sausages on grill, cut side down. Grill for about 4 minutes until browned and crispy. Flip and grill another 4 minutes on the other side.
  • Sprinkle grated cheese generously over hot sausages and allow it to melt instantly.
  • Season with black pepper and oregano.

4. Serve

  • Plate sausages with grilled vegetables and baguette halves.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with a cold beer.

💡 Tips

  • Use quality sausages with ham and good melting cheese for authentic flavor.
  • Butterfly-cut sausages grill faster and allow cheese to melt perfectly on top.
  • Pressing peppers while grilling helps create even char and soft texture.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy warm, melty cheese and smoky veggies.

🎉 Perfect For

  • Casual weekend grilling
  • Austrian or Central European inspired meals
