Sausage Pastry Roll (Keto)
Ground pork seasoned with fennel, sage and garlic, wrapped in a cheese-and-almond-flour dough baked golden, cut open to reveal a juicy pork filling with melted Gruyere threading through. Served warm with a smear of Dijon mustard, this pastry roll carries French bistro flavour without the wheat pastry carbs.

Instructions
1
Prep
Preheat oven to 400F and line a small baking sheet with parchment. Mince garlic and crush fennel seed. Mix ground pork with garlic, fennel seed, salt and pepper.
2
Melt
Combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and melt on high in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, about 1 minute total.
3
Knead
Add almond flour and most of the beaten egg to the melted cheese and knead with a spatula until a smooth dough ball forms with no dry patches.
4
Build
Press the dough between two parchment sheets into a 7-by-5-inch rectangle. Peel off top sheet, lay pork down the centre, top with Gruyere strip, then fold dough over filling and pinch seams closed.
5
Bake
Place roll seam-side down on the lined baking sheet, brush with remaining beaten egg, and bake at 400F for 22 to 25 minutes until pastry is deep golden and pork reaches 160F.
6
Rest
Let roll sit on baking sheet for 10 minutes so filling firms up and dough does not tear when sliced.
7
Plate
Slice roll in half on a diagonal and arrange on a plate with Dijon mustard alongside for dipping.
