Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 4 oz pork sausage
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup green peppers, chopped

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (divided into 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Sauté Sausage and Vegetables: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork sausage, chopped onions, and green peppers. Cook until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely in the next step.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Stir these ingredients together to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  4. Beat Eggs and Combine with Cheese: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the eggs and mix well. Pour this egg and cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Add Sausage Mixture: Fold in the cooled sausage, onion, and pepper mixture into the dough. Mix thoroughly to integrate all the ingredients evenly.
  6. Form Cookies: Using a large spoon, scoop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart like cookies. Due to the sticky texture, you can use the spoon to help flatten each cookie slightly.
  7. Add Remaining Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top of each cookie. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are set and starting to brown slightly on the edges. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  8. Cool and Store: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, store the cookies in an air-tight container or freezer-safe ziplock bag in the refrigerator or freezer for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Cooling the sausage and vegetable mixture before mixing with eggs is essential to prevent the eggs from cooking prematurely.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Baking time may vary depending on your oven; keep an eye on the cookies to avoid over-baking.
  • These cookies freeze well; reheat briefly in a toaster oven or microwave before eating.
  • For a spicier version, consider adding cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture.
