Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the batter and honey mustard sauce in advance. Store the batter in the fridge overnight and whisk it again before using. Assemble and bake fresh for the best results.

Q: What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?

Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10–12 minutes. This method keeps the batter crispy and prevents it from getting soggy. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the batter chewy.

Q: Can I freeze this dish?

You can freeze portions of the dish without the honey-mustard glaze. Thaw and reheat in the oven, then drizzle fresh sauce over the top to restore its flavor and texture.

Q: What’s the best sausage to use for this recipe?

Opt for sausages with bold, herby flavors or a slight spice. Pork sausages are traditional, but chicken or plant-based varieties work beautifully too.

- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Sausages:
- 6–8 sausages (pork, chicken, or plant-based)
Honey Mustard Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Room-temperature eggs and milk improve the batter’s rise.
