Frikandelbroodje

The frikandelbroodje is a popular Dutch snack consisting of a frikandel sausage wrapped in puff pastry and baked. It is a common item found in bakeries, supermarkets, and snack bars throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. The frikandel, the meat component of the snack, is a type of skinless, deep-fried sausage made from mixed meats, typically chicken, pork, or a combination thereof.

To prepare a frikandelbroodje, a frikandel is usually placed on a sheet of puff pastry, which is then cut to size and wrapped around the sausage. The pastry is often brushed with egg wash to give it a golden-brown finish when baked. It is then baked until the pastry is puffed and crispy and the sausage is heated through.

The frikandelbroodje is typically served warm and is often eaten as a quick meal or snack. It can be enjoyed on its own, or sometimes with a dipping sauce such as mayonnaise, ketchup, or curry sauce. Its convenience, combined with the satisfying contrast of crispy pastry and savory sausage, has contributed to its widespread popularity as a Dutch fast-food item. The snack is a staple in school cafeterias and at many informal gatherings.
