SAUSAGE EGG AND CHEESE BITES (LOW CARB + KETO)
Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked, drained and cooled slightly
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded cheddar
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook your breakfast sausage, drain and set it aside to cool slightly.
When the sausage has cooled add it to a mixing bowl and combine with the cream cheese until there are no cream cheese clumps left.
**It is important to make sure the sausage is not too hot before continuing as it will cook the egg when you add it in the next step**
Stir in cheese, eggs, coconut flour and baking powder.
When the mixture is well incorporated allow it to sit for 5 minutes. Coconut flour continues to absorb moisture so if it seems to runny it won't be.
Grease a baking sheet and using a small cooking scoop place the Sausage Egg and Cheese Bites on the tray,
Bake 18-20 minutes.
