Ingredients
For the boudin balls:
- 1 pound homemade or store bought boudin sausage
- 4 large eggs divided, lightly beaten
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon hot sauce
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs or more, if needed
- Vegetable oil for deep-frying
Instructions
For the boudin balls:
- If using store bought boudin, remove sausage from the casings. Discard the casings. Break the sausage up into smaller chunks.
- Add two lightly beaten large eggs. Mix the sausage and eggs together.
- Form the boudin into 1 ½ inch balls (a little smaller than a golf ball).
- In a shallow bowl, combine the remaining two eggs, salt, cayenne, and hot sauce.
- Spread the bread crumbs evenly in a separate bowl,
- Pour enough oil into a large skillet, deep enough to immerse the balls halfway. Heat oil over medium high heat until it begins to shimmer.
- Working in batches, roll balls in the egg mixture, followed by the bread crumbs. Make sure to coat them evenly.
- Place the balls in the hot oil a few at a time. Fry until they are golden brown on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm.
