Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 6 links sausages
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted, stopping to stir halfway through.
Add the melted cheese and egg to the almond flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands until it is well combined.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball and flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Set them aside to cool slightly.
Place a cooked sausage link in the center of each dough disc. Wrap the dough around the sausage, pinching the edges to seal completely.
Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.
Brush the tops of the buns with a little olive oil. Sprinkle with black pepper and chopped scallions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the buns to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
