These cheesy sausage bites are savory, juicy, and packed with flavor. Made with just three simple ingredients, they’re perfect for a quick snack, party appetizer, or even a protein-rich breakfast. The melted cheddar creates crispy edges while the inside stays tender and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 lb uncooked pork breakfast sausage (mild or hot)
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (tightly packed)
- 1/3 cup almond flour (finely ground)
Instructions
1. Preheat
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix
In a large bowl, combine:
- sausage
- shredded cheddar
- almond flour
Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated. The mixture will be slightly sticky but should hold together.
3. Shape
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture
- Roll into a ball
- Flatten slightly into a thick round (about ½ inch thick)
This helps them cook evenly and gives crispy cheesy edges.
4. Bake
Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing slightly apart.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until:
- golden brown
- cooked through
- edges are crispy
5. Cool & Serve
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm for best flavor.
