🧄 Garlic & Herb Cottage Cheese Biscuits

📝 Description

These Garlic & Herb Cottage Cheese Biscuits are soft, savory, and packed with protein. Blending cottage cheese with eggs and almond flour creates a moist, fluffy texture without needing butter or heavy cream. The garlic and herbs infuse each bite with a comforting, aromatic flavor, while mozzarella adds extra cheesiness if desired.
Perfect for a high-protein breakfast, snack, or as a side with soups and salads!

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably small curd, low-fat or full-fat)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup almond flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp dried oregano or thyme (or mixed herbs)
• Pinch of salt & pepper (to taste)
• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella (optional, for extra cheesiness)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Blend the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender or food processor until smooth.
3. Add dry ingredients: Mix in almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
4. Fold in mozzarella (optional) for a cheesy texture.
5. Scoop batter (about 2 tablespoons per biscuit) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly firm on top.
7. Cool slightly on a rack before serving. They’ll firm up as they cool.

🌿 Notes

• Texture: These are soft and moist, not crumbly like traditional biscuits.
• Cottage Cheese Tip: Blend well for a smooth dough. If you prefer a bit of texture, pulse lightly instead.
• Herb Variations: Swap oregano for rosemary, parsley, or Italian seasoning.
• Flour Substitute: You can use oat flour instead of almond flour (1:1 ratio) if you prefer a nut-free version.
• Extra Flavor: Sprinkle parmesan or everything bagel seasoning on top before baking.

💡 Tips for Perfect Biscuits

1. Use fresh baking powder — old baking powder can make biscuits dense.
2. Don’t overmix after adding almond flour — it can toughen the texture.
3. Add cheese only if you want richer biscuits; otherwise, they’re great plain.
4. Make ahead: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer.
5. Serve warm with butter, avocado, or as a side to soups, stews, or eggs.

❓ Q&A

Q1: Can I make these without almond flour?
Yes! Substitute with oat flour or coconut flour (use 2 tbsp less coconut flour and add 1 tbsp extra cottage cheese for moisture).

Q2: Can I use ricotta instead of cottage cheese?
Absolutely. Ricotta gives a smoother, slightly creamier texture.

Q3: How do I make them crispier?
Brush the tops with melted butter or olive oil before baking and bake a few minutes longer.

Q4: Are these good for meal prep?
Yes! They refrigerate well and reheat beautifully in an air fryer or oven.

Q5: Can I make them dairy-free?
Use dairy-free cottage cheese alternatives (like Good Culture Lactose-Free) and vegan mozzarella.
