Ingredients
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups almond flour

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
