1
Remove Bratwurst from Casings
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the bratwurst casings lengthwise and remove the sausage meat. Discard the casings.
2
Shape Patties
Form the sausage meat into patties, approximately 4 oz each. Make sure they are evenly shaped for even cooking.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking.
4
Cook the Patties
Place the brat patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
5
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.

6
Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill, cut side down, for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
7
Build the Burger
Place a brat patty with melted cheese on each toasted brioche bun. Add optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, and ketchup as desired.
