Breakfast sausage pinwheels

Made these today, they came out better than I expected! It took some working with the cheese dough to get it to the right texture- it was grainy and really sticky at first but I kept putting it back in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time until it felt like real dough and wasn't sticky any longer. After that, it was a breeze! I cut 8 slices after trimming off the ends, and the sausage did not fully cook through. Since I made them to reheat for breakfasts during the week, that's fine for me, but they'd probably work better sliced a little thinner like the original recipe.

Breakfast Sausage Pinwheels
Ingredients

1. 140 grams mozzarella melted (1 1/4 cup)
2. 4 tbsp butter melted
3. 4 tbsp Almond Flour
   
4. 3 tbsp Coconut Flour
   
5. 1 tsp onion powder

9. Cover with cheese and roll up.
10. Place sausage roll in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.

That sounds good. Wonder if you can add an egg?

They were very delicate when it came to slicing, I think more eggs would make them even softer. Maybe on top of the slices after being partially baked if you pressed down the middle to make a depression?
