Sausage, Egg + Cheese Breakfast Cookies

Recipe by Evelyn Marcella Rivera

Savory sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast cookies made with almond flour for a low-carb, gluten-free, grab-and-go breakfast. All the flavor of a fast-food breakfast sandwich without the bun, ready in 30 minutes and great for meal prep.

  • Total Time30 minutes
  • Yield16 cookies 1x
  • DietGluten-Free

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 oz pork sausage (2 links, casings removed)
  • 1/2 medium white onion (diced)
  • 1/2 medium green bell pepper (diced)
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • chives and Sriracha sauce (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cook the Filling: In a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion, and bell pepper, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly.
  3. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add the eggs and 3/4 cup of the cheese and mix to combine. Fold in the cooled sausage mixture.
  4. Scoop and Bake: Use a cookie scoop or melon baller to transfer balls of batter onto the baking sheet. Top each with some of the remaining cheese and gently flatten with your fingers. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until set and golden. Top with chives and Sriracha, if using.

Notes

Use blanched almond flour for a smoother texture; it is not interchangeable with regular or coconut flour. Drain the sausage well and let it cool slightly so it does not scramble the eggs. Do not overbake, or the cookies turn rubbery. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days and reheat 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave, or freeze in a single layer and reheat from frozen. Bacon, turkey or chicken sausage, or different cheeses all work as swaps.
