6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for the muffin tin
1 1/2 cups almond flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 cup cooked, crumbled breakfast sausage
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1 scallion, chopped
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 large eggs

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter 8 cups of a muffin tin.
Whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne and sage in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, combine the sausage, Cheddar and scallions. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and eggs, then add them to the large bowl with the sausage mixture. Add the 6 tablespoons melted butter and the almond flour mixture to the large bowl and mix.
Spoon the batter into the buttered 8 cups of the muffin tin. Bake until puffed, golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
