Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces smoked sausage links, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice 12 ounces of smoked sausage into 1-inch thick rounds and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard, and 1/3 cup mayonnaise. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional), and a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to the mustard mixture.
  4. Whisk everything together until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate the dip while cooking the sausage.
  5. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add the sliced sausage pieces in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until edges are browned and crispy.
  7. Remove sausage bites with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  8. Arrange sausage bites on a serving platter alongside the herb mustard dip. Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For a dairy-free dip, substitute mayonnaise with a plant-based alternative. Fresh herbs are preferred over dried for best flavor. The dip can be made a day ahead to deepen flavors. Avoid overcrowding the pan to get a nice crisp on the sausage. Reheat gently to keep sausage juicy.
