Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
  
  

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
  
  

• 12 mini sausages or cocktail hot dogs
  
  

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  
  

• 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  
  

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   
   

2. Make Dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
   
   

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, and optional seasonings.
   
   

4. Mix Dough: Add the dry ingredients to the melted cheese mixture and knead until a uniform dough forms.
   
   

5. Roll and Wrap: Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece and wrap around a mini sausage.
   
   

6. Apply Egg Wash: Brush each wrapped sausage with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
   
   

7. Bake: Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
