Equipment
- Large pot
- Food processor
- Mixing bowls
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boudin sausage casings removed
- 2 cups Hot Cheetos finely crushed
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs beaten
- As needed Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/4 cup Cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons Green onions finely chopped
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Boudin Mixture
- Remove the boudin from its casings and place it in a large bowl.
- Mix in the cream cheese and green onions until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into small, golf ball-sized spheres.
- “Consistency is key. Ensure the boudin balls are compact and hold their shape.”
Step 2 – Dredging and Coating
- Set up your dredging station with three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for crushed hot Cheetos.
- Roll each boudin ball in flour, dip in egg, and then coat generously with crushed hot Cheetos.
- Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- “Make sure each ball is thoroughly coated with Cheetos for that perfect crunch.”
Step 3 – Fry to Perfection
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the boudin balls in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- “Don’t overcrowd the fryer; give the balls plenty of space to cook evenly.”
Notes
- Temperature Control: Keep the oil temperature consistent for the best results.
- Serving: Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce for an extra kick.
