High protein breakfast biscuits made with simple ingredients like cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, ham and chives.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups flour or whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 16 oz cottage cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 eggs whisked
- 6 oz ham or turkey diced
- 1/3 cup chives finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour the parchment paper.
- In a large bowl add flour, onion powder, garlic powder, baking powder and salt. Whisk together until combined.
- In a medium bowl add cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, eggs, ham, and chives. Mix until fully combined.
- Add cottage cheese mixture to the large bowl with dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. When the dough begins to form switch to using clean floured hands to mix the dough and form a large dough ball. Add a sprinkle of flour when needed if the dough is too sticky to work with. Note: dough will be slightly sticky, but should be able to form into a ball.
- Place dough ball on the lined baking sheet and flatten dough with your hands to form a large rectangle, roughly 7” by 10” (does not need to be perfect!).
- Using a knife or bench scraper, divide the dough into 12 equal biscuits. Space the biscuits apart evenly on the baking sheet.
- Bake biscuits for 22-25 minutes until tops are slightly golden brown and bottom of biscuits are golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy as is or slice in half and use for breakfast sandwiches.
