2 tablespoons cream cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder

For the Sausage Filling
1 pound ground sausage
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Topping
1 egg, beaten
Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Sausage Filling
In a bowl, combine the ground sausage with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
3. Make the Dough
Add the mozzarella and cream cheese to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short intervals until melted and smooth.
Stir in the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Roll the Dough
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it into a rectangle.
5. Add the Sausage
Shape the sausage mixture into a long log and place it along one edge of the dough.
Carefully roll the dough around the sausage, sealing the edge.
6. Slice
Cut the long roll into smaller sausage rolls and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Add the Topping
Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning if desired.
8. Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the dough is golden and the sausage is fully cooked through.
For safety, ensure the sausage reaches an internal temperature appropriate for the type of sausage used.
9. Serve
Allow the sausage rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips for the Best Low Carb Sausage Rolls
Keep the dough slightly warm while shaping because it becomes firmer as it cools.
Use parchment paper to make rolling easier.
Don’t overfill the dough with sausage.
Add chili flakes for a spicy version.
Serve with a low-sugar dipping sauce if desired.
