Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry and sprinkle evenly with shredded cheddar cheese. Optionally, spread garlic butter on top.
Place chopped bratwurst pieces in a line across the short edge of the puff pastry.
Roll the puff pastry tightly into a log and slice into approximately 1-inch bites.
Arrange the bites on the baking sheet, optionally sprinkle with Everything bagel seasoning, and bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix plain Greek yogurt, whole grain mustard, dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator while the bites are baking.
For extra flavor, brush the puff pastry with garlic butter before rolling it up.
Serve the bites warm for the best texture and flavor.
You can substitute the Everything bagel seasoning with sesame seeds or poppy seeds for a different twist.
Can I use a different type of bratwurst?
Yes, you can use any type of bratwurst you prefer, but the chicken cheddar bratwurst adds a unique flavor to the recipe.
Can I make these bites ahead of time?
You can prepare the bites ahead of time and refrigerate them. Bake them fresh when ready to serve for the best texture.
What can I use instead of puff pastry?

How long can the dip be stored?
The dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can I freeze the bites?
