These are my latest version of my viral high protein cottage cheese biscuits! They’re soft, extra fluffy, full of flavor, and EASY to make! I am completely OBSESSED.

These biscuits are made with bread flour, cottage cheese, ham, cheese, and a handful of other simple ingredients. The cottage cheese gets whipped and added to the batter to make for a moist, soft, and protein-packed biscuit. They make the most delicious breakfast to grab-and-go!

All you need for these biscuits is:

• Cottage cheese
• Milk of choice
• Honey
• Butter
• Deli ham
• Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• Green onion a(or chives)
• Bread flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt and pepper

Simple, healthy, wholesome ingredients. I’ve got the base of these biscuits memorized at this point I’ve made them so much, so now I’m having fun trying out different mix ins! This version is my new favorite; the flavor is super nostalgic to me and just so satisfying.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Can I make these gluten free?
  • A: I haven’t tested a gluten free version, and it can be really tricky to just subitute 1:1 when it comes to gluten free baking.
• Can I use a different type of flour?
  • I have only made these using bread flour. However, I think all purpose would work totally fine!
• Can I make these dairy free?
  • Unfortunately if you need things dairy free, this recipe needs its dairy ingredients!
• How much protein is in each biscuits?
  • Each biscuit has 20 grams of protein when made exactly as written!

Be sure to let me know if you give these biscuits a try! Enjoy!

Description

High protein ham and cheese biscuits made with cottage cheese!

---

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup milk, plus more for brushing tops
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp melted salted butter
• 7 oz deli ham, diced in to small pieces
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/3 cup diced green onion OR chives (or a mix)
• 2 cups bread flour
• 1 TBSP baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

---

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Blend cottage cheese and milk until creamy. In a large bowl, mix with honey and melted butter, then fold in ham, cheese, and green onion.
3. In a separate large bowl, mix together all of your dry ingredients. Add to your wet ingredients and mix until just combined- dough will be crumbly and looks slightly dry. That’s OK!
4. Turn your dough out onto a clean floured work surface. Use floured hands to combine the dough to make it less crumbly and into more of a smooth dough.
5. Roll dough out as much as you can into a rectangle (ish) about 3/4 inch thick. Don’t worry about it being too perfect! Fold one end of the rectangle into the center, and then the other end of the rectangle over it, like a letter.
6. Flatten dough again into a more narrow rectangle that is again about 3/4 inch thick. Repeat the process of folding one end into the center and then the other end over it. This is what creates the layers in the biscuits!
7. Roll a little once again just to pack layers together more tightly. Cut dough into 6-9 biscuits and place on baking sheet almost touching each other.
8. Brush the tops with milk and then bake for 15-30 minutes (depending on size of your biscuits- smaller ones will cook faster), until tops are slightly brown in centers are set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before enjoying. Optional: brush tops w/ butter + honey!
