Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
  • 1.5 oz egg white powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Notes

Using Ground Beef or Chicken: Replace pork sausage with an equal amount of ground beef or chicken.
Cheese Substitution: Try mozzarella, gouda, or a blend of cheeses instead of cheddar.
Collagen Alternative: Use collagen peptides in place of gelatin powder for a slight variation in texture.
