How This Recipe Comes Together

Creating High Protein Egg Biscuits is as straightforward as whisking, mixing, and baking. Start by whisking your wet ingredients before folding in the dry ingredients and add-ins. Then, pour the mixture into a muffin tin, bake until golden, and voilà! You have delightful, protein-packed biscuits ready to be enjoyed.

What You’ll Need

Gather the following ingredients for this easy and nutritious recipe:

• 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 almond flour for all-purpose flour or use different types of cheese to suit your taste.

Directions to Follow

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until you achieve a smooth mixture.
3. Gently fold in the shredded cheese and any chopped vegetables you’ve chosen, mixing just until combined.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are set and lightly golden on top.
6. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Enjoy warm or store them for later!

Best Ways to Enjoy It

These High Protein Egg Biscuits shine as a breakfast option but can also be served as a savory snack or even a light dinner alongside a fresh salad. Pair them with a dollop of salsa, avocado slices, or a side of fruits for a balanced meal. They also go wonderfully with a glass of orange juice or a steaming cup of herbal tea, making them perfect for brunch gatherings.

How to Store and Reheat

To keep your High Protein Egg Biscuits fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months! When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. If you prefer, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for a crispier texture.

Helpful Cooking Tips

• Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air into the mixture; this helps create that fluffy texture.
• If using frozen vegetables, make sure to thaw and drain any excess moisture to avoid watery biscuits.
• Experiment with flavors! Adding herbs or spices can elevate your biscuits to new culinary heights.

Creative Twists

The beauty of High Protein Egg Biscuits lies in their versatility. Swap out the almond flour for oat flour for a gluten-free option, or incorporate different shredded cheeses like feta or mozzarella for varied flavors. You can also add cooked bacon or sausage for a heartier treat, or keep it vegan by substituting eggs with a flaxseed mix and using a plant-based cottage cheese.
