Preheat oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until golden, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat.

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt together ¼ cup cheddar, cream cheese, and Parmesan. Add cooked sausage, egg, almond flour, baking powder, and salt and stir to combine. Stir in remaining ¾ cup cheddar. Add seasoning if desired. (I used oregano & sage)

Using a small cookie scoop, form mixture into 1" balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake until sausage is cooked through and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with dipping sauces or alone.
