Description
Delicious and easy-to-make cottage cheese breakfast protein biscuits that are perfect for a nutritious start to your day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder, optional
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a blender or food processor. Blend until mostly smooth and creamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
- Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the shredded cheddar and gently stir until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Turn out the dough and gently pat it to about ¾-inch thickness. Cut into biscuits using a 2½–3-inch biscuit cutter.
- Place the biscuits close together on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter.
- Bake for 12–16 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown on top.
- Brush with a little more melted butter and sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley if desired.
Notes
- For extra-tender biscuits, keep the dough slightly sticky and handle it as little as possible.
- Full-fat cottage cheese gives the biscuits the richest texture.
