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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a rectangle shape large enough to wrap around the sausage links.
Step 5
Place a sausage link on each piece of dough and carefully wrap the dough around the sausage, pinching the seams to seal.
Step 6
Place each wrapped sausage seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Brush the tops of each kolache lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the kolaches are golden brown on top.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a delicious low-carb breakfast or snack.
