Fathead Sausage Rolls

What are Fathead Sausage Rolls?

Fathead Sausage Rolls are a keto twist on the traditional sausage roll recipe. Instead of using pastry dough, these rolls feature a fathead dough, made primarily from mozzarella cheese, almond flour, and cream cheese. This ingenious substitution not only slashes the carb content but also adds a delightful richness to the rolls.

How to Make Fathead Sausage Rolls

Step 1. Preheat oven to 200℃ fan/220°C static/425°F. Place onion, parsley and seasoning into a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Add remaining ingredients (except fathead); pulse until combined.

Step 2. Shape the mixture into a 40 cm long log.

Step 3. Roll out the fathead into a large rectangle (the same length as your log) about 20 cm wide.

Step 4. Place the sausage along one edge and roll to enclose. Cut into portions or slice into 2-4 larger pieces (they can be cut smaller after baking).

Step 5. Bake 15 – 18 minutes or until cooked through and pastry is golden brown.

Tips & Tricks

• For a golden-brown finish, brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg before baking.
• Make sure to space the rolls evenly on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
• Keep an eye on the rolls towards the end of the baking time to prevent them from over-browning.

Ways to Serve and Alternative Fillings

• Serve the Fathead Sausage Rolls hot as a snack, appetizer, or even as part of a meal with a side salad.
• Add a range of different sugar free sauces like Keto Ketchup, Keto BBQ Sauce, or Low Carb Ranch Sauce.
• Experiment with alternative fillings such as pork sausage, spicy chicken with jalapenos, or vegetarian options like spinach and feta.

Notes

INGREDIENTS FOR LAMB SAUSAGE ROLL RECIPE

I use 80/20 meat-to-fat lamb mince (the higher fat will add flavour). You can use any mince or make your own.

Swap Za’atar Spices in place of Seven Spices for another tasty well-seasoned option.

MIXING LAMB KOFTA

When mixing lamb mince in a food processor, choose a pulse function to avoid “over-blending” the meat. You can mix well in a large mixing bowl if you do not have a food processor. This mixture also makes terrific burgers. Just shape them into large patties and grill or barbecue.

Shape with a premade kebab mold (optional)

LAMB KOFTA THERMOMIX 

This recipe is so easy to whip up koftas with a Thermomix (with or without pastry).

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze the sausage rolls raw or baked.
