Boudin King Cake Recipe
⭐️ This is such a great dish to bring to a party!
INGREDIENTS:
• 4-5 links boudin
• 8 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded
• (2) 8-ounce cans Crescent Rolls
• 4 ounces of cream cheese
• 1 pound bacon, fried until crispy
• 1 jar Tabasco Pepper Jelly
• Steen’s 100% Pure Cane Syrup
• 1 bunch green onions, sliced
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare 2 baking sheets by covering them with parchment paper.
2. Open a can of Crescent Rolls and flatten with a roller.
3. Remove and discard the casing from your boudin links with a knife. Mix cheese, cream cheese, and boudin all together in a mixing bowl. Place an unwrapped link of boudin down the middle of your dough and lightly smash it down.
4. Carefully roll the dough around the boudin mix and seal any seams that may reopen. Repeat with the rest of the boudin and Crescent Roll dough.
5. Place the dough/boudin log on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Join two logs together to form an oval king cake shape. This recipe makes 2 king cakes.
6. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
7. While your king cake is cooling for about 5 minutes, heat your pepper jelly in the microwave in 30-second intervals until it is thin enough to pour.
8. Pour/drizzle the pepper jelly and Steen’s Syrup over the top of the hot king cakes.
9. Sprinkle them with the crumbled bacon and diced green onions.
