Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if not already shredded.
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, shredded cheddar, cream cheese, coconut flour, beaten egg, and salt.
- Mix Thoroughly:
- Use your hands or a spoon to mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. Ensure that the coconut flour is evenly distributed, and the mixture has a consistent texture.
- Form into Balls:
- Form the mixture into approximately 30 small balls. You can use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop to ensure uniform size.
- Place on Baking Sheet:
- Arrange the sausage balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the sausage balls are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
- Check for Doneness:
- You can check for doneness by cutting one ball in half to ensure the sausage is fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Serve Warm:
- Once cooked through, remove the sausage balls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm as an appetizer.
- Optional Dipping Sauce:
- If desired, serve with a keto-friendly dipping sauce, such as a sugar-free marinara or ranch dressing.
