Protein Biscuits are a savory, cheesy, and hearty baked treat packed with cottage cheese, cheddar, ham or turkey, and aromatic chives. These biscuits make a perfect breakfast option or snack that is both filling and flavorful, with a soft and moist texture thanks to the high protein content. They are easy to prepare and bake, providing a satisfying alternative to traditional flour-heavy biscuits.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry 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

Wet Ingredients

  • 16 oz cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 eggs, whisked

Additional Ingredients

  • 6 oz ham or turkey, diced
  • 1/3 cup chives, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly dust the parchment paper with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, whisked eggs, diced ham or turkey, and finely chopped chives until fully incorporated.
  4. Form Dough: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. When the dough begins to come together, use floured hands to knead it into a large dough ball. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle with additional flour as needed. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  5. Shape Dough: Transfer the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten it with your hands into a roughly 7 by 10-inch rectangle; the shape does not have to be perfect.
  6. Cut Biscuits: Using a knife or bench scraper, divide the dough into 12 equal-sized biscuits. Space them evenly on the baking sheet to ensure even baking.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the biscuits for 22 to 25 minutes. They should be golden brown on top and have a golden-brown bottom when done. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
  8. Serve: Enjoy these protein biscuits warm as is or slice them in half to use as a delicious base for breakfast sandwiches.

Notes

  • Use whole wheat flour for a healthier option with more fiber.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the ham or turkey and consider adding more cheese or vegetables.
  • The dough might feel sticky; flour your hands and the work surface lightly to ease handling.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  • These biscuits are perfect for meal prepping breakfasts or snacks ahead of time.
