Preparing High-Protein Breakfast Biscuits
Making these biscuits is a breeze. Start by preheating your oven and lining a baking sheet. Then, mix up your wet ingredients with the dry ones before folding in the good stuff: ham and broccoli. Scoop, top with cheese, and bake! In about 12 minutes, you’ll have a batch of golden biscuits ready to be enjoyed.
What You’ll Need
Gather these items to get started on your delicious breakfast:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (or regular all-purpose flour)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 6 ounces ham (diced)
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Feel free to switch out the Greek yogurt for cottage cheese if that’s what you have on hand, or customize the cheese to fit your taste!
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425° Fahrenheit, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Gently fold in the diced ham and chopped broccoli. If you’re feeling creative, this is the perfect time to add other veggies or ingredients you enjoy!
- Using a ¼ cup measurement, scoop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
- Top each mound generously with shredded cheese.
- Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and set.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before enjoying or storing.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
These High-Protein Breakfast Biscuits make a great stand-alone breakfast, but they’re also perfect for pairing with a light salad or serving alongside fresh fruit.

How to Store
These High-Protein Breakfast Biscuits can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. They also freeze well, so feel free to batch cook and stash some away for later. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or heat them in the oven at 350° Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes for a fresh-out-of-the-oven experience.
Tips to Make It Perfect
- Use Room Temperature Eggs: For a fluffier biscuit, take your eggs out ahead of time so they’re closer to room temperature when you mix them.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can make biscuits dense.
- Experiment with Fillings: Don’t hesitate to mix it up! Spinach, bell peppers, or even a hint of spicy jalapeños can elevate your biscuits.
