tips to make Mustard Hasselback Kielbasa Bites
- Cut slices about 1/4 inch apart and stop before cutting through to keep each piece connected.
- Brush the mustard mix twice: before baking and once halfway through for a stronger glaze.
- Use smoked paprika for a mild smoky flavor. Regular paprika also works.
- Use a sharp knife and a stable cutting board to make clean cuts.
variation (if any)
- Add a little garlic powder or onion powder to the mustard mix for extra flavor.
- Swap yellow mustard for Dijon for a tangier bite.
- Drizzle a little balsamic glaze after baking for a sweet-tart finish.
