Ingredients
  

Sausages and glaze
  • 2 14 oz cocktail sausages Use packaged cocktail sausages.
  • 0.3333333333 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 0.5 chopped fresh chives for garnish Use as a finishing sprinkle.

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Brown the sausages
  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cocktail sausages and brown them for 5-6 minutes, turning as needed until browned on multiple sides.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring until fragrant. Keep the heat at medium so the garlic doesn’t brown.
Make the honey mustard glaze
  1. Whisk the honey, whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce together. Pour the sauce over the sausages so they’re coated.
  2. Simmer the sausages for 8-10 minutes, stirring often. Cook until the glaze is thick and sticky and clings to the sausages.
Finish and serve
  1. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped fresh chives over the sausages. Serve warm with toothpicks.

Notes

For the stickiest glaze, stir frequently during the 8-10 minute simmer so the honey-mustard reduces evenly. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days; rewarm in a skillet over low heat until hot and glossy. Freeze is not recommended because the glaze can separate when thawed. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce.
