Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- 8 links breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute or until the cheeses are melted and smooth. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, mix together almond flour and baking powder. Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg to the bowl.
Step 4
Use your hands or a spatula to knead and mix the ingredients vigorously until they form a cohesive dough. It will be sticky at first, but keep kneading until well combined and smooth.
Step 5
Place the dough on a large piece of parchment paper and place another piece of parchment paper on top. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 6
Remove the top layer of parchment paper. Cut the rectangle into 8 smaller triangles, similar to traditional croissant dough shapes.
Step 7
Place one sausage link at the wide end of each triangle and roll the dough around the sausage, pressing gently at the seam to seal it.
Step 8
Arrange the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
Step 9
Optionally, melt the butter and brush it on top of each croissant for a richer flavor and golden crust.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 11
Allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
