A teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
11 -
A few dashes of hot sauce (2-3 shakes)

# Instructions:
01 -
Cover a big sheet pan with parchment. Slice open the sausage casing and remove the boudin into a large mixing bowl. Crack 2 eggs into a small bowl and whisk lightly with a fork. Pour it over the boudin and use your hands to mix it together well.
02 -
Using a cookie scoop (1 tablespoon), grab some of the boudin and egg mixture and place evenly on the lined pan. Repeat until you've made about 40 balls.
03 -
Slide the sheet into the freezer and let the boudin balls harden for at least 30 minutes.
04 -
Get three bowls ready while the boudin chills: fill one with flour, another with breadcrumbs, and whisk together the last 4 eggs and milk in the third bowl until smooth.
05 -
Turn your oven to 425°F and line another rimmed pan with parchment paper.
06 -
Pull the firm boudin balls from the freezer. Roll them gently in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture to cover well, and finish by rolling them in the breadcrumbs so no spots are bare. Space them out on the new sheet pan.
07 -
Mist the boudin with a light spray of avocado or olive oil. Put them into your hot oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until they get a crunchy, golden shell.
08 -
While the oven does its magic, stir together mayo, ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Blend it smooth, then sprinkle Cajun seasoning to taste.
09 -
Serve those warm boudin bites alongside the sauce. Share and enjoy!
