These protein breakfast biscuits are made with simple ingredients and pack 15g of protein per biscuit. Slice them in half and add an egg for the ultimate breakfast sammie.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1.5 cups 2% blended cottage cheese
- 4 oz. cheddar cheese diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives diced
- 4 oz. ham diced
- ½ large red bell pepper diced
- 2 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Next, add the blended cottage cheese to the flour and stir using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- Once the shaggy dough has started to form, add the diced cheddar cheese, chives, ham, and bell pepper. Scrape down the sides and mix using your hands. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Using a ⅓ cup, scoop the dough onto the baking sheet and gently press down. Continue until all the dough has been used.
- Then, top each biscuit with 1 teaspoon of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 425℉ for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve as is or cut the biscuit in half and serve with an egg.
Notes
- Option to substitute 4 oz. of bacon for the ham if you prefer.
- The amount of flour you need for this recipe will depend on how well the cottage cheese is blended. If you need more flour, add it 1 tablespoon at a time until you get to the desired consistency.
