Calories: 2063kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ cups cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free 1:1 flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheese plus more for topping
- 1½ cups cooked breakfast sausage cooled
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives finely chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a large bowl. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. Alternatively, blend them in a standard blender. If you don't mind small pieces of cottage cheese in the biscuits, you can simply whisk the ingredients together.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded cheese, cooked and cooled sausage, and fresh chives. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed, being careful not to overmix the batter.
Form the Biscuits
- Using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop or spoon, scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit.
- Sprinkle the tops with additional shredded cheese, if desired.
Bake
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on top and cooked through.
- Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Cool the sausage first: Allow the cooked sausage to cool before adding it to the batter so it doesn't warm the eggs or affect the texture.
- Don't overmix: Stir the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can make the biscuits dense.
- Use your favorite cheese: Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or a cheese blend all work well.
- For even-sized biscuits: Use a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the batter evenly.
- The texture: These are soft, tender, savory breakfast biscuits rather than traditional flaky biscuits.
