Sausage Puffs

My best friend made these for a dinner party as an appetizer so I had to recreate. I found this recipe and they came out great! These are a great keto snack. I personally dipped mine in sour cream but you can really eat them with anything or alone! Delicious.

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound Sausage (the original recipe has Jimmy Dean, I only had italian at my house to use)

2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese

4 eggs

4.5 tbsp butter, melted

2 tbsp sour cream (or softened cream cheese)

1/3 cup coconut flour or 1 1/4 cup Almond Flour

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp garlic powder

INSTRUCTIONS

• Melt the butter and set it aside to cool.

• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a large baking sheet with non-stick foil or parchment paper. 

• Brown the sausage, chopping it into small chunks. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess grease; set aside. 

• In a medium to large size bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, sour cream, salt and garlic. Whisk together. 

• Add the coconut flour (slightly more than 1/3 cup) and baking powder to the mixture and whisk until well combined. 

• Stir in the browned sausage and cheese. 

• Roll or drop batter into 1 inch balls onto your lined baking sheet. I make 35 and they fit perfectly (5 rows of 7). They only need to be about 1/2 inch apart. 

• Bake for 14-18 minutes or until slightly browned. Enjoy immediately, and store any leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
