Ingredients
4 large eggs
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 ¾ cups cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
½–1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large bowl, mix eggs, flour, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, salt, garlic powder, and baking powder until combined.
Fold in cilantro, bell pepper, and jalapeño.
Scoop ⅓ cup of batter per biscuit onto the prepared sheet, spacing evenly (makes 11–12 biscuits).
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
Cool slightly and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For gluten-free, use a 1:1 baking blend.
For dairy-free, use plant-based cheese and cottage cheese.
Avoid overmixing the dough to keep biscuits soft.
Freeze for up to 3 months for easy meal prep.
