Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2.5 cups flour (or whole wheat flour) (300g)
  • 1 tsp onion powder (5g)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (5g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder (8g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (1.5g)
Wet Ingredients
  • 16 oz cottage cheese (450g)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded) (100g)
  • 2 whole eggs (whisked)
  • 6 oz ham or turkey (diced) (170g)
  • 1/3 cup chives (finely chopped) (25g)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour the parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, add the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, add the cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, eggs, diced ham or turkey, and chives. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Add the cottage cheese mixture to the large bowl with dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to mix until a dough begins to form. Use clean floured hands to form a large dough ball. If the dough is too sticky, add a sprinkle of flour as needed.
  5. Place the dough ball on the lined baking sheet and flatten it with your hands to form a large rectangle, about 7” by 10”.
  6. Using a knife or bench scraper, divide the dough into 12 equal biscuits. Space the biscuits apart evenly on the baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake the biscuits for 22-25 minutes until the tops are slightly golden brown and the bottom of the biscuits is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serving
  1. Enjoy the Protein Biscuits as is, or slice in half to create delicious breakfast sandwiches.

Notes

Protein Biscuits are versatile. Pair with toppings for a nutritious snack or serve with fresh fruit or salad for lunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage. To make vegetarian, omit ham or turkey and add extra vegetables.
