Beer Brat and Cabbage Crostini

Heat oil in a 4-qt. Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion; cook for 5 minutes or until golden, stirring occasionally. Add cabbage; cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until cabbage begins to wilt, stirring occasionally. Stir in black pepper.

Remove Dutch oven from heat. Pierce casing on bratwursts with toothpick; add to cabbage mixture. Pour in beer. Return to heat and bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and gently simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until bratwursts reach 165 degrees.

Meanwhile, place oven rack 4 in. from heat. Preheat broiler to HIGH. Cut bun tops and bottoms diagonally into thirds. Place on a baking sheet, cut sides up. Broil for 20 to 30 seconds or until toasted.

 Remove bratwursts from Dutch oven; diagonally slice bratwursts.

To serve, place 1 Tbsp. of cabbage mixture on each bun piece. Top with brat slices and desired toppings.
