Ingredients:

• Sausage:
  • 8 oz (225 g) breakfast sausage, crumbled and cooked
• Almond Flour:
  • 2 cups (200 g)
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese:
  • 1 cup (100 g)
• Baking Powder:
  • 1 tablespoon
• Eggs:
  • 2 large
• Unsalted Butter:
  • 1/2 cup (115 g), melted
• Heavy Cream:
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml)
• Salt:
  • 1/2 teaspoon
• Black Pepper:
  • 1/4 teaspoon
• Garlic Powder (optional):
  • 1/2 teaspoon
• Dried Oregano (optional):
  • 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sausage:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and let it cool slightly.
2. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder (if using), and dried oregano (if using).
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and heavy cream.
5. Combine Ingredients:
   • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
   • Gently fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Form the Scones:
   • Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 8-10 scones. You can shape them into rounds or mounds.
7. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
