Sausage, Egg, And Cheese Breakfast Meatballs
Take a tasty, high-protein breakfast or snack on the go with this easy, low-carb recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare a baking sheet with a lining of parchment paper and a wire baking rack. Set aside.
- In a skillet over medium-low heat, scramble the eggs just until set, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Chop the scrambled eggs into small pieces with a knife.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked eggs, sausage, cheddar cheese, and the Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs. Mix gently with a wooden spoon or your hands just until evenly combined. Do not overwork the mixture, as that can make the meatballs tough.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the mixture into 24 equal-sized mounds. Roll each into a smooth ball with your hands. Arrange rolled meatballs on the prepared baking rack so they are evenly spaced.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through to a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- Let meatballs cool 5 minutes before serving. Serve with optional sugar-free maple syrup for dipping.
