In the final post that involves that loaf of bread I made, I give you the gift of boudin balls. Here's the rabbit hole. I made boudin a few weeks ago with my friend Jambalaya Girl's Jamblaya Rice Mix. I ate some of it in lettuce, stuffed it in a chicken and then put the rest in my freezer. My freezer is not normal sized and a bit small and I was itching to get the boudin out of it before it went bad. My cousin asked me to make breadcrumbs for a post, and then my friends Laura and Jeff were having a housewarming party. An idea was sparked! I would make boudin balls for the party! Boudin balls are delicious. Emeril makes some delicious food, why not use his recipe? Except I had to take out the mayo for the dipping sauce. The Hostess is extremely #teamnomayo as am I. It's my blog I can do what I wanna! Full recipe after the montage.

Boudin Balls
2 pounds Boudin Sausage, removed from casings
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups coarse dry breadcrumbs, preferably homemade
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
In a shallow bowl, season the flour with 1 tablespoon of the salt. In another shallow bowl, place the breadcrumbs. In a third shallow bowl, whisk the eggs together with the milk and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. With damp hands, shape the boudin into balls the size of your choosing. Dredge the balls in the flour, and then dip them in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Finally, dredge the balls in the breadcrumbs, turning to coat them evenly. Transfer the boudin balls to a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. Preheat the vegetable oil in a dutch oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Using a slotted spoon and working in batches, slide the balls gently into the oil and fry until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain briefly on the prepared baking sheet. Let them cool briefly before serving.
Mustardy dipping sauce
1 cup sour cream
5 tablespoons Creole mustard, or other whole-grain spicy mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Mix all ingredients thoroughly serve with boudin balls.
These were a hit at the party! The party was also a hit too and we all woke up with hangovers. It was so good to get most of the group together to see Laura and Jeff's awesome new back yard and to see some faces I hadn't seen in ages!
Happy cooking!
