Klobasnek

Klobasnek is a savory snack that was first made by Czechs who settled in Texas. The snack consists of the same dough that's used to make kolaches, but it is filled with a kielbasa sausage instead of fruit. It is believed that the first klobasnek (plural: klobasniky) was made in 1953 in The Village Bakery, located in the town of West, Texas. Nowadays, klobasniky can be enriched with the addition of cheese and jalapeño peppers, and even though some people like to add eggs or ham to the snack, Mimi Montgomery Irwin, the owner of The Village Bakery draws a hard line over any other additions to the klobasniky. This Texan snack is usually eaten for breakfast or lunch.
