Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds until both are melted and combined smoothly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted cheese mixture and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands to ensure it's thoroughly combined.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out into a large rectangle, roughly 14x10 inches.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal triangles.
Place a cooked sausage link at the wide end of each triangle, then roll the dough around the sausage, tucking the point underneath the croissant.
Place each rolled sausage croissant onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced evenly apart.
Brush the tops of each croissant with the prepared egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
