INGREDIENTS:

TO PREPARE THE FILING:

TO PREPARE THE DOUGH:

• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• ¾ cup almond flour
• 1 egg

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

SAUSAGE:

• We can pick any of the favorite breakfast sausages, like pork or turkey. We can use a mild sausage for a more balanced taste, or a spicy one if you like it hotter. We have to be careful to drain any extra grease after cooking for a leaner filling.

CREAM CHEESE:

• We use the soft cream cheese because it is required for both the dough and the sausage filling. It contributes to the creamy, silky texture of these crescents. We can also use a non-dairy cream cheese substitute for dairy-free options; however, the texture and flavor may differ significantly.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• We can use the full-fat mozzarella to make the dough for these crescents. When mixed with cream cheese, it melts easily and gives the dough its elastic, dough-like consistency.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• We should use the fine and blanched almond flour to make the perfect texture of these crescents. It produces dough that is soft and not gritty. You should not have to utilize the almond meal as it produces gritty and rough dough.

EGGS:

• Egg serves as a binding component in the dough. It also enhances its texture and keeps everything together.
