Try these savory breakfast cookies with sausage, egg, and cheese that you can easily customize to your liking.

Ingredients

4 ounces breakfast sausage
1/2 finely minced white onion
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 medium eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 pinch freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2/15 teaspoon dried parsley

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
2 Heat a non stick skillet over medium heat and cook sausage until crumbly, 3 to 5 minutes. Add in the onion and cook, stirring and breaking up the sausage until it is no longer pink. Transfer mixture to a paper towel-lined plate and drain for 3 to 5 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, combine flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and parsley in a large bowl; whisking until well combined. Whisk in eggs until well combined. Add 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese and stir until mixed in. Spoon in sausage mixture and mix to form a thick batter.
4 Scoop out about a 1/4 cup of the mixture and drop onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each 'cookie' with Cheddar cheese and slightly flatten with your fingers.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 10 minutes. If cookie is still a little soft, cook for 2 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
