Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
Cheese & Meat
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
Vegetables & Seasonings
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and homogenous, ensuring even distribution of moisture.
- Add Cheese, Bacon, and Veggies: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cooked bacon, chopped spinach, and sliced black olives until everything is evenly combined, giving the biscuits bursts of flavor and texture.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, then gradually fold in the all-purpose flour. Mix gently until a thick dough forms; be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Shape the Biscuits: Scoop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in mound shapes, then lightly flatten each mound with the back of a spoon to help them bake evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and feel firm to the touch.
- Cool and Store: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months for convenient future breakfasts.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to prevent dense biscuits.
- Substitute cooked sausage or ham for bacon if desired.
- Fresh spinach can be lightly sautéed before adding for a milder flavor.
- These biscuits reheat well in the oven or microwave.
- To freeze, wrap biscuits individually for best results.
