Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups cottage cheese, liquid drained (if watery)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups spinach, finely chopped
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 0.333 cup chives, diced
- 2 cups ham, diced (about 275 grams)
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray or lightly brush with oil. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until smooth.
- Add the chopped spinach, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, diced chives, and diced ham. Mix everything until well combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir until the mixture is just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough as this can affect the texture of the biscuits.
- Divide the mixture into 12 even-sized balls. If the dough is sticking to your hands, lightly flour them. Place the balls evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press each ball down to form biscuits about 1.5 inches thick. It’s fine if they are close together; they don’t spread much during baking.
- Sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Baking
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown on the bottom.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for about 5-10 minutes. Enjoy them plain, slice them in half and toast with butter, or use them as a base for a delicious breakfast sandwich!
Notes
These biscuits are easy to make in one bowl and perfect for breakfast. Tips: Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits and store them properly in an airtight container.
