How to Make Our Keto Cheesy Pigs in a Blanket
- Preheat the oven. Set oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prep the sausages. Cut sausages into 2-inch pieces and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Add the cheese. Place small piles of shredded cheese on the baking sheet, leaving space between each pile.
- Wrap and season. Place one sausage piece on each cheese pile. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
- Bake until golden. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until cheese melts, bubbles, and forms crisp edges.
- Cool slightly and serve. Let cool for 2–3 minutes so the cheese firms up before lifting.
This oven-baked method keeps the bites crispy, cheesy, and perfectly aligned with keto and low-carb eating.
