SAUSAGE EGG AND CHEESE BITES (LOW CARB + KETO)
By Annie Holmes Published in 30 Minutes or Less
Save
Jump to Recipe
These Egg and Cheese Keto Sausage Balls are the perfect low-carb, grab and go,
Keto-friendly breakfast option! Perfect for an easy meal prep breakfast!
Quick, low carb breakfast options can be a tricky thing to master. When you
think of a grab and go breakfast it generally consists of muffins or pastries.
Lighter options might include yogurt and fruit, but if you are watching your
carbs even those can add up quickly.
These delicious sausage cheese balls are a great keto breakfast on the go! Even
better, they are packed with protein and are super easy to prepare.
Plus, they are KETO and gluten free. They freeze and reheat really well so you
can add them to your meal prep list! Some of my other keto meal prep favorites
are this Keto Lemon Chia Seed Pudding (two flavors here and so easy), these Keto
Pizza Bites, and these Spinach and Cheese Bites. They seriously couldn’t be any
easier!
INGREDIENTS FOR KETO SAUSAGE BALLS
The ingredient list for these gluten-free sausage balls is short. Unlike many
sausage ball recipes, I made these sausage balls without Bisquick!
* Breakfast sausage
* Eggs
* Cream cheese
* Shredded cheese
* Coconut flour
DO I HAVE TO USE COCONUT FLOUR?
You can sub the same amount of almond flour in this recipe if you wish. The
coconut flour provides a lighter, fluffier texture and is lower in net carbs.
However, if you can’t or don’t want to use the coconut flour subbing in almond
flour will work.
HOW TO MAKE KETO SAUSAGE BALLS
1. Start by cooking your breakfast sausage. Once you cook your sausage, drain
and set it aside.
2. Add the cream cheese to the bowl and mix well.
3. Allow the mixture to cool slightly (so it doesn’t cook the eggs when you
stir). Then, add the eggs, coconut flour, baking powder and cheese.
4. Chill the mixture to give the coconut flour time to absorb all of the
moisture. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
5. After you allow the mixture to chill 10 minutes or so, stir again and if any
moisture remains allow it to chill a little longer. If you skip this step
the bites will flatten as they cook.
6. Use a small cookie scoop and place onto a greased or silicone lined baking
sheet and bake.
7. Once cooked, store these in an airtight container in the fridge.
HOW MANY CARBS ARE IN SAUSAGE CHEESE BALLS?
If you are actually following a Keto diet, here is the nitty gritty on the
carbs. According to my recipe calculator, each bite (this makes 32 equal size
bites with my small cookie dough scoop) has 1.2 grams of carbs and 0.5 grams of
fiber.
Making each little bite just 0.70 net carb, so even if you pop five of these
delicious bites you are only at 3.5 carbs. Check just below the recipe card for
the nutrition breakdown.
CAN I FREEZE THE KETO SAUSAGE BALLS?
Yes! After I bake and allow them to cool, I freeze the low carb sausage balls on
a cookie sheet and then put them all in a large freezer bag. This way they don’t
clump and freeze together and you can pull out as many as you like. To reheat, I
microwave in 20-second increments until warm.
TIPS FOR MAKING SAUSAGE, EGG, AND CHEESE BITES
* If you cannot find a keto friendly sausage at your grocery store without
sweetener you can always make your own. I really like the flavor and easy of
this Whole 30 and Keto Breakfast Sausage recipe.
* As I’ve mentioned already, this recipe is a great grab and go low carb
breakfast option. Store the bites in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze
for up to 3 months. They can be reheated from frozen in the oven or
microwave.
* Note that you must use brick-style cream cheese for this recipe. Full-fat or
light will work, but it must be brick-style.

keto breakfast recipes that can be made in advance and eaten throughout the

* Keto Sausage and Spinach Quiche

SAUSAGE EGG AND CHEESE BITES (LOW CARB + KETO)
Yield: 32 bites
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes 18 seconds
Total Time: 35 minutes 18 seconds
These Egg and Cheese Keto Sausage Balls are the perfect low-carb, grab and go,
Keto-friendly breakfast option! Perfect for an easy meal prep breakfast!
Print
INGREDIENTS
* 1 pound breakfast sausage
* 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
* 3 eggs, beaten
* 1 cup shredded cheddar
* 1/3 cup coconut flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cook your breakfast sausage, drain off any excess fat, and set it aside to
cool slightly.
3. When the sausage has cooled, add it to a mixing bowl and combine with the
cream cheese until there are no cream cheese clumps left. (It is important
to make sure the sausage is not too hot before continuing as it will cook
the egg when you add it in the next step).
4. Stir in cheese, eggs, coconut flour and baking powder.
5. When the mixture is well incorporated, allow it to chill for 5-10 minutes.
Coconut flour continues to absorb moisture so if it seems to runny it won't
be. Skipping this step and not chilling the dough will result in flat bites,
not balls like you see in the photos.
6. Grease a baking sheet and using a small cooking scoop place the Sausage Egg
and Cheese Bites on the tray,
7. Bake 18-20 minutes.

Hi Leanne, yes allow the dough to rest and chill for 10 minutes as listed
in step 6 this allows the coconut flour time to absorb the moisture so
they are nice and fluffy! I hope you enjoy!

Reply

September 27, 2019 at 8:21 am
Hi Jess, I would imagine regular flour would work but we actually can't
use it because of a gluten allergy so I have no experience baking with
it. I do know that coconut flour and almond flour work perfectly in equal
amounts. I hope that helps! :)

After reading comments and replies I think I answered my own question. My
bites were flat and I think I could have just spread it all over the pan to
bake and used a knife to cut into squares! My husband helped a little. I
later asked if he'd drained the sausage and no, he hadn't. I thought that
was the problem. Until I read replies about the flour. I used almond flour.
Next time I'll use the coconut flour and drain the meat. I don't have to
worry about storage. There's three left! I think next time we'll put them
on a plate and serve them with salsa. We are new to Keto and I'm still
trying to find my way around. These bites are the first recipe we've really
liked. So thank you!

Hi Anita! I'm glad you enjoyed the flavor!! These do work with almond
flour, though I think the result is better with coconut flour, it just
makes them light and fluffy. I think you are right not draining the
sausage probably contributed to the issue. Also, did you chill the dough?
That helps a ton in making these nice little balls. If you are new to
keto you should give these Pizza bites
https://www.maebells.com/easy-keto-pizza-bites/ or this Jalapeno Chicken

Those are two of my favorites!

Hi Anna, no you do not scramble them. In step 5 stir in the eggs, cheese
coconut flour and baking powder to make the dough. There is also a video
recipe video in the post that shows it step by step if that helps. I hope

I just made these and they were flat so I must have done something wrong.
Can you explain what “draining the sausage” is? It must be the step I got
wrong
Reply
* Annie Holmes says
October 13, 2019 at 3:51 pm
Hi Casey, that would mean draining the fat off the sausage after it has
been cooked so there is no extra liquid. If fat is drained off and the
batter sits as directed they should come out nice and fluffy. Hope that
helps!

can taste it. Would it still be considered low carb / keto if I used almond
flour instead?

Hi Megan, Yes! Almond flour OR coconut flour work in equal amounts in
this recipe (or any of my other keto bites) the carb count is slightly
higher with almond flour but they are still right at 1 net carb each.

What is the best way to make these ahead and eat throughout the week...make
into balls and freeze, then bake when ready to eat, bake and then freeze,
partially cook then warm up, keep batter in fridge and use within a few
days...? Any suggestions or tired and true methods?

Hi Tammy, we do that often, these are great for meal prep! These reheat
perfectly and keep great in the fridge for at least 5 days. If you are
looking to store yours longer than that I would just bake and freeze.
After I bake and allow them time to cool I freeze on a cookie sheet and
then put them all in a large freezer bag. This way they don't clump and
freeze together and you can pull out as many as you like. I microwave in
20 second increments until warm. I hope you enjoy!

Just made these. They came out great! I divided the batter into 24 servings
and used my silicone mini muffin tray. I chilled a bit longer to ensure the
coconut flour was well absorbed. 20 minutes was the perfect cooking time
for the muffin tray and they popped out easily! I ate two before they were
cool enough to safely eat LOL!

Thank you! They are wonderful! I also tried keeping some uncooked in the
fridge, then scooping out enough for my breakfast and baking them in the
toaster oven. I think they are better this way, but it's so much quicker to
cook them all and then microwave as you want them, and they are still great
this way! My 4 year old grandson has learned that I have them in the
fridge. He goes and gets out the container and asks me to warm some for
him. He loves them, too!

Hi, I am just starting Keto. I am allergic to anything coconut so I can't
use the flour. Can I use almond flour insead? Thanks for your help.
Reply
* Annie Holmes says
November 10, 2019 at 9:53 am
Hi Patty, that is a very common question, they two flours are pretty
different so they won't work as perfect substitutes in all keto recipes
but they do work in this one! Just use 1/3 cup almond flour instead of
the coconut flour and make sure you chill the dough until the liquid from
the eggs has absorbed. (with almond flour this might take a few minutes
longer) The bites will not be quite as fluffy with the almond flour but
they will be delicious nonetheless! :) Message me anytime with keto
questions! It has been a great thing for me, good luck!

I have not tried with this particular recipe, but have made other

flour.....you might be able to try here since you can't use almond flour
due to tree nut allergy.

Can you substitute bacon instead of sausage? I make the sausage ones but
use a 12 muffin tray and they come out perfect. About 3 net carbs per
muffin.

Thank you so much for an awesome recipe!! When I went to cook up the
sausage meat I had forgotten I had used it the day before. But I had a
small package of mild pepperoni slices and bacon crumble so i used all of
it in the fry pan and cooked the pepperoni like little pieces of fried
bologna (yes I was raised on the stuff and we loved it). Then I followed
the rest of the recipe and I made rather large ones because I couldn’t find
my small scoop. One comment was that I used some coconut spray inside the
scoop I think it would’ve stuck terribly to it had I not? I cooked them the
full 20mins about got 13 bites which are really almost the size of muffins.
Thanks again for your awesome recipes!!!

Made these this morning and they turned out really good! I've never cooked
with coconut flour before so I was kind of nervous about what it would do
to the flavor/texture. I stuck with the recipe for the most, all I did
extra was add a little onion power, garlic power, and chili powder. I let
the mixture chill for about 15 min and since I don't have a cookie scoop, I
used my tablespoon scoop. I came out with about 30 sausage balls and they
kept their shape through the baking process. I left mine in a few extra
mins per our preference. Hubby said they were delicious so that's a win for
me! I will definitely keep this recipe on file and play around with the
ingredients. Thank you for sharing!

I have these in the oven right now. I came up short 4 balls but I may have
forced too much into the scoop. I've recalculated the net carbs and I'm
happy with .08 net for 1. This is the first time I've made sausage balls
with meat that has already been cooked. I kept thinking there wasn't cheese
but after mixing and portioning out, there's enough cheese. I hope, I hope,
I hope, husband can't taste the coconut flour. He despises things made with
almond flour (I kinda do too) so I need these to work. I'll update after
they come out of the oven. And I'll let them cool a bit first. Burnt
tongues hurt!! ;)

I made these with 8 oz of prosciutto instead of sausage, which I had cut in
small pieces and lightly browned in olive oil. I also heated olive oil,
sautéed garlic, and toasted the coconut flour a bit. I also Added oregano
and rosemary and swapped Parmesan cheese for the cheddar. Toasting the
coconut with garlic helps to make it less distinctive in taste. Before
baking I topped with a small amount of shredded Parmesan which toasted
nicely. Although it would add carbs, next time I might add a small amount
of marinated sundried tomatoes.
