Tips
The cheese and bacon make all the difference. 27.5 g of fat for only 13 g of protein: this is a brasserie dish, not a source of protein. One cervelas weighs 150 g, or 458 kcal.
2 g of salt per 100 g. One cervelas provides 3 g of salt, or 60% of the daily guideline, and it is most often served with chips or sauerkraut, which are already salted.
Serve it with salad, not chips. This is the only trade-off that changes anything on this dish: the cervelas itself will not change.
It counts towards the charcuterie guideline. 150 g a week, across all products: one cervelas obernois uses it all up.
In the oven rather than the deep fryer. Fifteen minutes at 200 °C is enough to melt the cheese and crisp the bacon, without any added fat.
