They generally like it

Split cervelat sausages get topped with Munster cheese, which melts into a strong, slightly salty coating over the meat. A quick pass under the broiler creates patches of golden crust while the inside stays soft. The warm potato salad, dressed with mustard, vinegar and red onion, balances this hearty dish with a tangy freshness.

This is a weeknight dinner that comes together without any waiting around, perfect for feeding the whole family without spending the evening in the kitchen. Kids love the melted cheese and the simple texture of the sausages, while adults appreciate the bold flavor of the Munster. Mon Chou designed this for nights when you want a filling meal without the fuss.

The step by step recipe

  1. Cook the potatoes in salted water. 20 min

    Start from cold water for even cooking.

  2. Meanwhile, split the cervelat sausages lengthwise without separating them, keeping the bottom intact.

    Prick them first so they don't burst.

  3. Fill each sausage with slices of Munster cheese and add pepper.

    Don't overfill, it will spill over while baking.

  4. Bake at 200°C until the cheese is fully melted. 15 min

    Finish under the broiler for a bubbly, golden top.

  5. Peel and slice the potatoes, toss with the onion, mustard, vinegar, oil and chives, and serve.

    Dress the potatoes while they're still warm.

Our tips to get it right

  • Pick firm, unblemished sausages before cooking, they split open more cleanly without tearing.
  • Cut the Munster cheese into even slices so it melts uniformly along the length of each sausage.
  • Slice the potatoes while they're still hot, they cut cleaner and soak up the dressing better.

The variations

  • Swap the Munster for a Reblochon or Epoisses for an equally bold but different flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, use plant based sausages instead of cervelat, keeping the same Munster topping.
  • To save time, melt the cheese on the sausages under a microwave grill setting for a few minutes instead of using the oven.

What to serve it with

  • A crisp green salad
  • Toasted country bread
  • A light lager beer

Storage

The potato salad keeps for 2 days in the fridge in a sealed container. The baked sausages are best eaten the same day, since the melted cheese loses its texture on reheating. If needed, reheat the sausages in the oven for a few minutes so the cheese melts properly again.

Questions about this dish

Can I use a different cheese instead of Munster?

Yes, Reblochon or Camembert work well since they melt easily. Avoid overly dry cheeses that won't brown nicely under the broiler.

Should I remove the rind of the Munster before adding it to the sausages?

It's not required, but removing the rind gives a milder taste. Keep the rind on if you enjoy the strong flavor of Munster.

Can I make the potato salad ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare it a few hours ahead and keep it in the fridge. Take it out shortly before serving so it isn't too cold.

Prick the skin lightly before baking to let steam escape. Split them fully lengthwise without separating the two halves.
