Description

Delicious and nutritious breakfast biscuits made with cottage cheese, perfect for busy mornings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced ham
  • 1/4 cup chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Give it a good stir to mix all the dry ingredients together!
  3. Stir in the cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, diced ham, chopped chives, and melted butter until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky and well combined.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it. Don’t overdo it—just a few turns to bring it together nicely.
  5. Roll or pat the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or your favorite glass, cut into rounds.
  6. Place the biscuits on your prepared baking sheet, giving them a little room to rise.
  7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffy. The smell will be irresistible!
  8. Enjoy warm! These biscuits are best served fresh from the oven, with a pat of butter or your favorite spread.

Notes

Customize with herbs, veggies, or different cheeses for variations. Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
