Ingredients

  • 2 c mozzarella grated
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 3/4 c Trim Healthy Mama baking blend
  • 1 egg
  • 1 c cheddar grated
  • 12 sausage links frozen

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425
  • In a microwave safe bowl, combine the 2 c mozzarella and the cream cheese. Microwave for about a minute or until melted. Stir every 30 seconds to keep it from burning. I have a low powered microwave (700 watt), so it may take your microwave less time than it takes mine.
  • Add the seasonings, and mix well. Stir in the egg and baking blend – it’s a bit of an arm workout, but you should have a uniform “dough”.
  • Roll out the dough quite thin – about 1/4th of an inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or a circular drinking glass (what I used) cut the dough into circles. Top each circle with a frozen sausage link (you could use thawed, but will likely need to reduce the baking time) and grated cheddar cheese. In the pictures, we used white cheddar.
  • Wrap the dough around the sausage and cheese. Less cheddar on the sausage makes this easier – they will still be cheesy due to the dough. Don’t be afraid to squish the dough to make it stay together. If they open up again, it’s not a big deal – they still taste delicious, they just don’t look quite as cute.
  • Place on a cookie sheet (you can line it with foil for easier clean up if desired) and bake for 10 minutes or until the bottom is browned. Enjoy!
