Ingredients:
- 113 grams (4 oz.) pork sausage
- 80 grams (1/2 cup) chopped onion
- 80 grams (1/2 cup) chopped green pepper
- 85 grams (3/4 cups) almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 eggs

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Heat up a large skillet over medium heat and cook the pork sausage, onion, and green peppers until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are soft. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well until a sticky dough forms.
Stir in the cooled sausage mixture until everything is combined.
Using a spoon, drop a large spoonful of dough onto the prepared baking tray, forming them into cookie shapes.
Gently press down on each cookie to flatten them a bit. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of each cookie.
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Keep in mind that baking time may vary depending on your oven.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
