🧄🌿 Garlic & Herb Cottage Cheese Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or a mix of oregano, thyme, basil)

• 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed

• 1 cup cottage cheese

• ½ cup milk (or buttermilk for extra flavor)

• ½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella (optional, for cheesy biscuits)

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and herbs.

3. Cut in butter: Add cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fingertips to blend until crumbly.

4. Add wet ingredients: Stir in cottage cheese and milk until just combined (don’t overmix). Fold in shredded cheese if using.

5. Shape biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of dough (or shape gently into rounds) onto the prepared baking sheet.

6. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown on top.

7. Finish: Brush with melted butter mixed with a pinch of garlic and herbs for extra flavor. Serve warm.

❓ Q&A

Q1: Can I use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese?
👉 Yes! Greek yogurt works well, but cottage cheese gives extra moisture and fluffiness.

Q2: How can I make these biscuits gluten-free?
👉 Substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.

Q3: Do I need to chill the dough?
👉 Not necessary, but using cold butter ensures flaky biscuits.

Q4: Can I freeze these biscuits?
👉 Yes! Freeze unbaked biscuits on a tray, then store in a bag. Bake from frozen, adding 3–4 extra minutes.

Q5: What’s the best way to serve them?
👉 They pair perfectly with soups, stews, or as a breakfast side with eggs and bacon.
