Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 4 tbsp Cold Unsalted Butter, Cubed
- 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Cooked Ham, Diced Small
- 2 tbsp Fresh Chives, Chopped
- 1 1/2 cups Low Fat Cottage Cheese
- 1 Large Egg
Equipment
- blender
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend the cottage cheese and egg until completely smooth and creamy. This smooth base replaces most of the butter and milk, keeping the biscuits moist while packing in protein.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder and black pepper in a large bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the pieces are about the size of peas.
- Add the cheddar, ham and chives to the flour mixture and toss until evenly distributed and coated in flour.
- Pour in the blended cottage cheese mixture and fold with a spatula just until no dry flour remains. The dough will be thick and sticky, which is exactly what you want for soft, tender drop biscuits.
- Scoop 1/3 cup mounds of dough onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart, making 10 biscuits. Bake for 16-19 minutes, until golden brown on top and set in the center.
- Let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and rewarm in the oven or microwave for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
