Fried Boudin Balls

If you like boudin sausage, you’ll love this Cajun snack — 40 minutes from craving to table. Each serving lands at 340 calories with 14g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Boudin sausage
• 1/2 cup Flour
• 2 Eggs
• 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 4 cups Neutral oil
• 1/4 cup Creole mustard

Steps

1. Squeeze the boudin out of its casings into a bowl and mix well. Chill 20 minutes so it firms up enough to roll.
2. Roll into 1.5-inch balls with damp hands. Set up a breading station: flour, beaten egg, then breadcrumbs tossed with Cajun seasoning.
3. Dredge each ball through flour, egg, and crumbs, pressing firmly. Chill the breaded balls 10 minutes so the coating sets.
4. Heat the oil to 350°F and fry in batches 3 to 4 minutes until deep golden and crisp. Drain on a rack, not paper, to keep them crunchy.
5. Serve hot with Creole mustard for dipping. The centers should be steamy and soft against the crisp shell.
