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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
Step 3
In a separate mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
Step 4
Add one egg and heavy cream to the almond flour mixture. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
Step 5
Grease two microwave-safe ramekins. Divide the batter evenly between them.
Step 6
Microwave each ramekin on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the muffins are cooked through. Allow to cool slightly before removing from ramekins.
Step 7
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the remaining egg, season with salt and pepper, and cook to your desired doneness.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb breakfast treat!
