How to Make Cottage Cheese Breakfast Biscuits

Making these biscuits is a breeze! You’ll start by preheating your oven and preparing a baking sheet. Mixing up the wet and dry ingredients separately creates a lovely dough that transforms beautifully in the oven. With just a few minutes of baking, you’ll have fresh, warm biscuits to enjoy in no time!

What You’ll Need

Gather the following ingredients to make your Cottage Cheese Breakfast Biscuits:

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or herbs (optional for flavor)

Feel free to use low-fat cottage cheese or whole wheat flour for a healthier twist!

Directions to Follow

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In one mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, melted butter, egg, and honey (if using). Stir until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder or herbs.
4. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or spoon. Be careful not to overmix; you want the dough to be just combined.
5. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring to leave space for spreading.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the biscuits turn golden brown.
7. Serve warm! Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite toppings like butter, jam, or honey.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

These biscuits are incredibly versatile! You can pair them with sweet toppings like honey or fruit preserves for a delightful breakfast treat. Alternatively, enjoy them with savory options such as cream cheese, smoked salmon, or even a side of scrambled eggs. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread alongside fresh fruit or a simple salad.

Tips to Make It Perfect

• Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
