Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Ground sausage
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cup Grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Mayo or mustard (optional)
Instructions
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into patties the size of your muffins. Set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
Add one egg and heavy cream to the almond flour mixture. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
Grease two microwave-safe ramekins. Divide the batter evenly between them.
Microwave each ramekin on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the muffins are cooked through. Allow to cool slightly before removing from ramekins.
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the remaining egg, season with salt and pepper, and cook to your desired doneness.
Slice the low-carb muffins in half horizontally. Assemble your McMuffin by layering a sausage patty, a slice of cheddar cheese, and the cooked egg between each muffin half. Optionally, spread mayo or mustard on the muffins.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb breakfast treat!
