Keto Chili Cheese Dogs

Ingredients:

• 1 egg white, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
• 1 ounce cream cheese
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 package (6 count) hot dogs or smoked sausage links
• 1 egg white beaten for egg wash to brush on top

Topping:

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar (heaping tablespoon per chili dog)

Instructions: For the Pigs in a Blanket:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat in 30-second increments until the cheese is completely melted.
3. Stir the cheeses to combine.
4. In a second smaller bowl, combine the almond flour and baking powder. Mix into the melted cheeses.
5. When the almond flour and cheese are nearly combined, add in a beaten egg white and stir well.
6. Using your hands, work the dough to ensure the egg white is completely worked into it (no streaks of egg whites visible). If the dough seems too wet, add 1 tablespoon of almond flour at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
7. Lay the dough on a silicone baking sheet. Place a second silicone baking sheet on top and spread the dough into a thin rectangle.
8. Slice the dough into 6 strips.
9. Wrap the dough around the hot dogs, overlapping slightly.
10. Brush with an egg white and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

For the Chili Cheese Dogs:

1. Spoon 1/4 cup of Keto Chili and 1 heaping tablespoon of shredded cheddar over each Pig in a Blanket.

Notes:

• The nutrition calculation includes 1 Keto Pig in a Blanket, combined with 1/4 cup of Keto Chili and 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar.
• Add the nutrition for the sausage or hot dog separately, as it can vary in carb content.
• The recipe comes to approximately 4.8 net carbs per chili cheese dog, depending on the carb content of the sausage used.
