4.8 from 106 reviews

These Mustard Hasselback Kielbasa Bites are a flavorful and easy-to-make appetizer, featuring juicy kielbasa sausage sliced into bite-sized pockets, brushed with a tangy honey mustard and smoked paprika glaze, then baked to golden perfection and garnished with fresh parsley.

Ingredients

Scale

Sausage

  • 1 lb kielbasa sausage

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Kielbasa: Using a sharp knife, slice the kielbasa crosswise, making cuts that create pockets but do not cut all the way through; this allows the glaze to soak in during baking.
  3. Make Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow mustard, honey, and smoked paprika; stir until you achieve a smooth, well-blended glaze.
  4. Apply Glaze: Generously brush the mustard mixture over each kielbasa slice, making sure to coat all the pockets for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake: Arrange the glazed kielbasa bites in the prepared baking dish evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the kielbasa is golden brown and caramelized.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and garnish the kielbasa bites with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a fresh, vibrant touch.

Notes

  • You can use spicy or smoked kielbasa for a different flavor profile.
  • Serving these bites warm enhances their taste and texture.
  • Try adding a sprinkle of grated cheese before baking for extra richness.
  • This recipe is perfect for parties and pairs well with mustard dip or barbecue sauce.
