Description
Fluffy, savory High-Protein Cottage Cheese Breakfast Biscuits made with cottage cheese for a boost of protein — perfect for breakfast, snacks, or serving alongside soups and stews.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cottage cheese (small curd, full-fat or low-fat)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk or buttermilk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
3. In another bowl, mix cottage cheese, melted butter, egg, and milk until combined.
4. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined — do not overmix.
5. Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet (makes about 10–12 biscuits).
6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown on top.
7. Cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
These biscuits are naturally higher in protein thanks to cottage cheese.
Add shredded cheddar, herbs, or chives for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
