Instructions
Using mixer or by hand, mix together sausage and cream cheese. Add eggs and cheddar cheese and mix until well-combined.
Whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking powder in separate bowl.
Add dry ingredients to cheese mixture and stir well. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour. After the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 375º F. Spray a large baking or cookie sheet with cooking spray or line with aluminum foil.
Scoop the dough in tablespoon sized portions and roll into balls. Place them on the baking sheet about an inch apart. Bake until the balls are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let the cheese balls cool slightly before placing them on a paper towel lined plate.
