Step-by-Step Overview

Making these High Protein Egg Biscuits is straightforward and gratifying. Begin by preheating your oven and preparing your muffin tin. Then, mix together the wet and dry ingredients until you achieve a smooth batter. Fold in the cheesy goodness and any veggies you fancy. Pour the mix into the muffin cups and let the oven work its magic. Within 15-20 minutes, your kitchen will be filled with irresistible aromas, and you’ll be pulling out golden, fluffy biscuits!

Gather These Items

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
• Optional: chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, etc.)

Feel free to swap the cottage cheese for Greek yogurt or add gluten-free flour if you’re looking for a twist.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin to keep the biscuits from sticking.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until blended.
3. Add in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth.
4. Gently fold in your shredded cheese and any optional veggies until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are set and lightly golden on top.
7. Allow cooling for a few minutes, then carefully remove from the tin. Enjoy warm or store for later!

Best Ways to Enjoy It

These High Protein Egg Biscuits can be enjoyed in myriad ways. Serve them warm alongside a fresh salad for a light lunch, or whether with a dollop of salsa, a side of avocado, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for those who crave an extra kick. They also pair beautifully with fresh fruit or yogurt for breakfast.

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers (which is rare in my kitchen), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply pop them in the microwave for a quick reheat or in the oven until warmed through.

Helpful Cooking Tips

• Make sure to whisk the eggs and cottage cheese thoroughly for a smooth texture.
• Avoid overmixing once you add the cheese and vegetables to keep the biscuits fluffy.
• Let them cool slightly in the muffin tin before removing to maintain their shape.

Recipe Variations

Feel free to get creative! Swap in feta or pepper jack cheese for a flavor twist. You can also mix in cooked bacon or sausage for additional protein, or go vegan by using chickpea flour mixed with water instead of eggs and dairy. Try different veggies like sun-dried tomatoes or zucchini for a seasonal twist!
