Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 units pre-cooked sausage links
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Add the almond flour, eggs, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms. It may be sticky, use lightly greased hands as necessary to mix thoroughly.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a rectangle shape large enough to wrap around the sausage links.
Place a sausage link on each piece of dough and carefully wrap the dough around the sausage, pinching the seams to seal.
Place each wrapped sausage seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of each kolache lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the kolaches are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious low-carb breakfast or snack.
