🧄 Garlic & Herb Cottage Cheese Biscuits – Fluffy, Cheesy & High-Protein 🧀
Introduction
These Garlic & Herb Cottage Cheese Biscuits are the perfect blend of comfort and nutrition. They’re golden on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and packed with savory garlic, herbs, and creamy cottage cheese. Unlike traditional biscuits, this version is high in protein, lower in fat, and made without excessive butter — thanks to the moisture and richness of cottage cheese. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory side to soups and salads, these biscuits are a healthier twist on a bakery classic.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (or whole-wheat flour for added fiber)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup low-fat cottage cheese
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped chives or dill (optional)
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Optional Topping:
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- A pinch of garlic powder and dried herbs for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. - Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. - Blend the Wet Ingredients:
In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and egg. Blend until smooth and creamy. - Combine the Mixtures:
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Add herbs and shredded cheese. Gently fold until just combined — avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and fluffy. - Shape the Biscuits:
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per biscuit onto the baking sheet. You should get 8–10 biscuits. - Bake:
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. For an extra flavor boost, brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and herbs right after baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a dab of butter, cream cheese, or alongside soups and stews. They also pair beautifully with scrambled eggs or roasted vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days — simply reheat to restore that fresh-from-the-oven texture.
