New favorite version of my viral biscuits because they’re even easier to prep than the last, and the flavor is sooo good and nostalgic!!! Recipe linked in my bio and also listed below! RECIPE: 1 cup cottage cheese 1/4 cup milk, plus more for brushing tops 1 tbsp honey 2 tbsp melted salted butter 7 oz deli ham, diced in to small pieces 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1/3 cup diced green onion OR chives (or a mix) 2 cups bread flour (I use @kingarthurbaking) 1 TBSP baking powder 1/4 tsp baking soda 1 tsp sea salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1. Preheat oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Blend cottage cheese and milk until creamy. In a large bowl, mix with honey and melted butter, then fold in ham, cheese, and green onion. 3. In a separate large bowl, mix together all of your dry ingredients. Add to your wet ingredients and mix until just combined- dough will be crumbly and looks slightly dry. That’s OK! 4. Turn your dough out onto a clean floured work surface. Use floured hands to combine the dough to make it less crumbly and into more of a smooth dough. 5. Roll dough out as much as you can into a rectangle (ish) about 3/4 inch thick. Don’t worry about it being too perfect! Fold one end of the rectangle into the center, and then the other end of the rectangle over it, like a letter. 6. Flatten dough again into a more narrow rectangle that is again about 3/4 inch thick. Repeat the process of folding one end into the center and then the other end over it. This is what creates the layers in the biscuits! 7. Roll a little once again just to pack layers together more tightly. Cut dough into 6-9 biscuits and place on baking sheet almost touching each other. 8. Brush the tops with milk and then bake for 20-30 minutes (depending on size of your biscuits- smaller ones will cook faster), until tops are slightly brown in centers are set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before enjoying. Optional: brush tops w/ butter + honey! #cottagecheese #proteinrecipes #highprotein #healthyrecipes" — 278K likes, 2,382 comments - gatherednutrition on May 26, 2026: "Ham Cheddar + Chive Protein Biscuits!
