Ingredients
- ½ Tablespoon olive or avocado oil
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage chicken, pork, or beef
- ½ medium yellow onion finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves mined
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup full fat cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour or regular all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic. Cook 4-5 minutes, until the onion is fragrant and softened.
- Add sausage and cook an additional 7-8 minutes, breaking up the sausage, until it's fully cooked, then set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth, then stir in the cottage cheese, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Don't overmix.
- Stir in the cooled sausage mixture and cheddar until evenly distributed. The batter will be thick and scoop-able.
- Scoop with an ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measure onto the baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Bake 22-25 minutes, until golden and set in the center. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
