1. Mix one tablespoon of olive oil (sage, peppers—to personal taste) and sausage crumbles together and warm in pan.

2. Add and mix in grated cheese thoroughly in mixing bowl—adding additional olive oil, if necessary, to make ingredients hold together.

3. Roll into balls about ¾ to 1 inch in diameter.

4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
