Cajun boudin sausage contains a seasoned mixture of pork and rice similar to a dirty rice dressing. Because they can be made small or large, deep-fried boudin balls make fabulous little appetizers, or an addition to a breakfast, brunch, or lunch menu. Boudin balls are also excellent as a game-day snack.

Serve these boudin balls with Louisiana-style remoulade sauce or with whole grain mustard or Creole mustard.

Make the Boudin Balls

Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oil in a deep fryer or large heavy bottom pot to about 360 F.

The Spruce / Armando Rafael
Remove boudin from the casings and crumble.

The Spruce / Armando Rafael
Shape the boudin into 1 1/2-inch balls. The heat from your hands will help hold them together. If they stick, moisten your hands slightly. Fill one small bowl with flour, another with eggs, and a third with breadcrumbs.

The Spruce / Armando Rafael
Coat each ball with flour.

Then coat with the beaten egg.

Then gently roll in the bread crumbs to coat thoroughly. You'll need to rinse your hands several times as you prepare the boudin balls.

The Spruce / Armando Rafael
Fry the balls, two at a time, in the hot oil until golden brown. Set on paper towels to drain while frying subsequent batches.
