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 cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 6 oz ham or turkey, diced
- 1/3 cup chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour the parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, whisked eggs, diced ham, and chopped chives until fully incorporated.
- Form Dough: Add the wet cottage cheese mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the dough begins to come together. Switch to clean floured hands to knead and form a large dough ball, adding flour as needed if the dough is too sticky. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Shape Biscuits: Place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet and flatten it with your hands into a roughly 7 by 10-inch rectangle. It does not have to be perfectly shaped.
- Cut Biscuits: Using a knife or bench scraper, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, spacing them evenly on the baking sheet.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown and the bottoms are golden and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as they are or slice in half for breakfast sandwiches.
Notes
- Use whole wheat flour for a heartier biscuit and added fiber.
- If the dough is very sticky, add flour gradually to avoid a dry biscuit.
- Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Swap ham for turkey or omit meat for a vegetarian version.
- Chives can be replaced with green onions or fresh parsley if desired.
