Description
High protein ham and cheese biscuits made with cottage cheese!
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Preheat oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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!
