Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

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

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup 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: 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  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 softened. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  4. Prepare wet mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Add half a cup of the shredded cheddar cheese to the eggs and mix to combine.
  5. Combine mixtures: Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms. Then fold in the cooled sausage, onion, and pepper mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. Shape cookies: Using a large spoon, drop big spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them evenly. The dough is sticky, so using the spoon to guide shaping works best.
  7. Flatten and top: Gently press down on each mound to slightly flatten the cookies. Sprinkle the remaining half cup of shredded cheese evenly over the tops.
  8. Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are cooked through and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden. Baking time may vary slightly depending on the oven.
  9. Cool and store: Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, store in an airtight container or freezer-safe ziplock bag in the refrigerator or freezer for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts.

Notes

  • Make sure the sausage mixture cools before mixing with the dough to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
  • You can customize the vegetables by adding chopped spinach or mushrooms if desired.
  • These cookies freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
  • For a spicier flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika to the dry ingredients.
