Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Thaw the frozen pretzel sticks completely, then cut them into 4–6 bite-sized pieces.
Take a long wooden skewer and start threading on the ingredients. Alternate between pretzel pieces, mini beef sausages, cheese cubes, and mini pickled gherkins, aiming for about 3-4 pretzel bites per skewer.
Arrange the assembled skewers on the baking sheet and sprinkle coarse salt on top. Bake in the oven for 10–15 minutes, until golden and the cheese is melty.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
