Baked Cheesy Kosher Sausage Balls

Sausage balls are my absolute favorite Christmas food. But who wants all that grease in their digestive system? Not me, no ma'am. Also, for this Jewess, there's always the sinking feeling that the hostess is trying to sneak some pork off on you.

"Oh, yeah, this is absolutely.... kosher..."

How many times have I heard that?

Well, these sausage balls are both baked and absolutely kosher. And they are just divine. I had two for breakfast, and when hot, they are absolutely divine. The outside is crunchy and cheesy and the inside is meaty and slightly gooey with the cheddar. Yumm.

Don't you want one?

Baked Kosher Cheesy Sausage Balls

Ingredients

½ pound kosher sausage, cooked and crumbled
1 cup all purpose flour
¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ cup whole milk
shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Directions
1. Mix dry ingredients well, and slowly add in milk. Mix until dough is sticky and well-combined. Add cheese and ground, cooked sausage. 
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease a cookie tray. Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough onto the cookie sheet. (I got five large or eight smallish biscuits.)
3. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of dough. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Happy breakfast, y'all.
