🍽️ Ingredients
To make 8–10 fluffy, cheesy biscuits, you’ll need:
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat works best for texture)
- 1 cup Carbquik (or almond flour with 1 tsp baking powder)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional – go light if using salty toppings)
- Everything But the Bagel Seasoning (Regular, Everything Ranch, or Everything Bacon—all work deliciously!)
🧑🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so your biscuits don’t stick and clean-up is a breeze.
Step 2: Mix Your Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine:
- Cottage cheese
- Carbquik or almond flour
- Shredded mozzarella
- Eggs
- Olive oil
- Salt
Use a spoon or spatula to stir everything together. The batter will be thick and sticky—that’s a good sign! It means your biscuits will be moist on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.
Step 3: Scoop It Out
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place even-sized dollops of the mixture onto your parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave some space between each biscuit—they will expand a little while baking.
Step 4: Season to Perfection
Sprinkle the tops of your biscuits generously with Everything But the Bagel Seasoning. This adds a savory, garlicky crunch that makes these biscuits totally addictive.
Step 5: Bake
Pop the tray into your preheated oven and bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are firm to the touch. You’ll know they’re ready when your kitchen smells like a cheesy bakery heaven.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before digging in. They firm up a bit as they rest, and the flavor settles in nicely.
🧊 Storage & Meal Prep Tips
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: These biscuits freeze beautifully! Wrap individually and store in a zip-top freezer bag for up to 1 month.
- Reheat: Toast them in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes, or microwave for 20–30 seconds.
🍴 Serving Ideas
These versatile biscuits are great for any time of day:
- Breakfast: Pair with scrambled eggs or spread with cream cheese.
- Lunch: Serve as a side with a bowl of keto chili or soup.
- Dinner: Add to your low-carb meal as a satisfying bread replacement.
- Snack: Just grab one and go!
They’re also amazing cut in half and used as a mini sandwich bun—try them with turkey, bacon, or even avocado and tomato for a quick protein-packed bite.
