Notes

For best results, ensure the cheese is finely shredded so it incorporates well into the mixture. If you prefer a spicier flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or using hot sausage. These sausage balls can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer, reheating them as needed for a quick breakfast option.
