Note!
Sausages: I used Italian thin sausages for this recipe. If you use larger sausages, you may end up with fewer than 6 portions, which could affect the nutritional values provided.
Recipe Tips
- For best results, use pre-shredded cheese.
- Make sure the dough is evenly rolled out to ensure even baking.
- You can use any kind of sausage you prefer.
Ingredient Swaps
- If you don’t have almond flour, you can use coconut flour but adjust the amount (about 1/3 cup) as it absorbs more moisture.
- Swap cheddar cheese with sharp cheddar cheese for a stronger flavor.
- Use pork sausage or ground sausage instead of regular sausages.
Storage
Store any leftover sausage rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for best results.
