After the sharp cheddar cheese settled and firmed back up in my July 4th fatty, it turned out pretty well! However, what was better was when I had it for breakfast this morning....
You don't really need pics of this but all I did was take a slice of my fatty about 1/4 inch thick, microwaved it and placed it in a toasted english muffin. Turned out just like a breakfast sammy from heaven!! Much better than a typical breakfast sausage sandwich I would have gotten from Dunkin' Donuts. I'm sure a bagel would work just fine too.
I'm sure you "pros" around here have done this before but for a guy new to smoking and even newer to making my own fattys, this was a real treat.
I just realized I never really posted WHAT was in my fatty in yesterday's Independence Day Picnic! thread....
Fatty ingredients:
- Roll of Jimmy Dean's sage flavored breakfast sausage
- Vermont sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
- Half of white onion, finely chopped
- Three cloves of chopped garlic
- Extra sage flavor added into filling ingredients
- Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, brown sugar spice rub (typically used for my pork smoking)
Flattened out with a rolling pin after taking it out of the freezer for about 10 min. First added the slices of cheese from my 1 lb block until it was fully covered. Next threw on the onions and garlic and more sage. Rolled it up, OOOPPSS overstuffed a little so had to unroll and remove some onions. Rolled it back up again in wax paper and squeezed it so it became a longer and not as thick log. Smoked for about 2 hours but couldn't really enjoy it last night since I took it off about 10:30 PM and was already filled of pulled pork!
