Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and line or lightly grease the pan you plan to use.
  2. 1. Heat your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  3. 2. Combine the breakfast sausage, room-temperature cream cheese, shredded cheddar, egg, almond flour, dried minced onions, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, stirring until everything is evenly mixed.
  4. 3. Portion the mixture using a medium cookie scoop, placing the balls on the prepared sheet with about 1 inch of space between them.
  5. 4. Bake for 25 minutes until the sausage balls turn golden brown and are fully cooked inside.
  6. 5. While they bake, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, stone ground mustard, and dill to make the dipping sauce.
  7. Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.
  8. 6. Serve the warm sausage balls with the prepared dip alongside.
