5 from 94 reviews

This Mustard Hasselback recipe features kielbasa sausage sliced to create flavorful pockets, brushed with a tangy and sweet mustard glaze, then baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Sausage

  • 1 lb kielbasa sausage

Glaze

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

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Kielbasa: Slice the kielbasa crosswise, making cuts about 3/4 through the sausage without cutting all the way. This creates angled pockets that will hold the glaze.
  3. Make Mustard Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine yellow mustard, honey, and smoked paprika. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Apply Glaze: Use a brush to generously coat the sliced kielbasa with the mustard glaze, ensuring the mixture seeps into the pockets for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake: Arrange the mustard-coated kielbasa slices evenly in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the sausages are golden brown and caramelized.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the baked kielbasa from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh, colorful finish. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Be careful not to slice all the way through the sausage to keep the pockets intact.
  • Adjust honey quantity to taste if you prefer a sweeter or tangier glaze.
  • Smoked paprika can be substituted with regular paprika or a pinch of cayenne for extra heat.
  • Serve with mustard or dipping sauce of choice for added flavor.
  • Ensure the baking dish is greased well to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
