Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make homemade sausage with cheese? Get your ingredients ready. Trim, wash, and pat the chicken fillet dry with a paper towel. Cut some parchment paper, and keep plastic wrap and kitchen twine on hand for tying the sausage. Use a hard or semi-hard cheese — the important thing is that it's good quality, with no milk-fat substitutes. The cream can be any fat content; use potato starch (if you only have cornstarch, double the amount).

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Cut off a small piece of the chicken fillet and set it aside. Cut the rest into rough chunks.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Run the chicken through a meat grinder 3–4 times. You can use a blender instead. We want a smooth, fine-textured purée.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Take the eggs and wash them well with detergent. Separate the yolks from the whites, and refrigerate the yolks to use in something else. We only need the whites.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Add the egg whites, cream, starch, salt, pepper to taste, and any dried spices you like to the ground chicken.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Mix everything together well. Here's the mixture you should get.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Cut the reserved piece of chicken into small bits and add them to the mixture.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Cut the cheese into small cubes. Mince the peeled garlic, either by chopping it finely or putting it through a press.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Add the cheese and garlic to the mixture and stir well.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    Lay parchment paper on the work surface, ideally a few layers. Spoon the chicken mixture onto the parchment.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    Roll the parchment up tightly into a log. Tie the ends firmly with twine or kitchen string.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12

    Wrap the sausage-to-be in several layers of plastic wrap. The goal is to keep water from getting inside while it cooks.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13

    Wrap the meat log tightly with string. Make it look like a real sausage. :)

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14

    Bring water to a boil in a pot big enough to hold the sausage comfortably. Lower the log into the water and cook at a gentle simmer over low heat for half an hour.

  15. Step 15:

    Step 15

    After 30 minutes, take the sausage out, let it cool, then refrigerate it for about six hours. After that, unwrap it from the plastic, string, and parchment.

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16

    Slice the homemade sausage and serve.
