ITALIAN SAUSAGE BALLS
This version of sausage balls, a traditional southern appetizer, gets an Italian twist. Pickled cherry peppers add a touch of acid and spice that complements the richness of the sausage and the mozzarella.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the top of the oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Beat the sausage, mozzarella, flour and oil in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until the mixture just comes together. Shape the mixture into balls, using a level tablespoon for each, and set them on the prepared baking sheet at least 1 inch apart (you should have about 24).
- Bake the sausage balls until lightly golden brown and slightly puffed, 12 to 15 minutes, turning them halfway through.
- To serve, skewer a basil leaf (if the leaves are large, fold them in half), a pepper slice and a sausage ball onto a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining toothpicks and ingredients.

[email protected]These sausage balls were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or broth next time.
Tracy Pan
[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of sausage balls, but these were actually really good. The sausage was well-seasoned and the bread crumbs gave them a nice texture.
