Ingredients

  • 4 elongated rohlík rolls, about 240 g total
  • 4 already cooked Vienna sausages, about 320 g total
  • 40 g medium-hot mustard
  • 40 g tomato ketchup

Instructions

  1. Heat water in a pan, then hold below a boil. Add already cooked sausages and heat for about 8–10 minutes until thoroughly hot without boiling vigorously.
  2. Cut a small tip from each roll. Carefully press a lengthwise cavity with a clean narrow blunt wooden-spoon handle without piercing the far end. Do not push a sharp knife blindly into bread.
  3. Spread 10 g mustard and 10 g ketchup into each cavity. Drain hot sausages well and slide inside. Serve immediately.

Tips

  • Mustard alone or ketchup alone is also common; redistribute the sauce quantity accordingly. Nutrition figures refer to both sauces combined.
  • A narrow white roll is an identified substitute if rohlík is unavailable. Do not use croissant or puff pastry.
