how to make Cheddar Ham Protein Biscuits

Ingredients :

2.5 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
16 oz cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 eggs, whisked
6 oz ham or turkey, diced
1/3 cup chives, finely chopped

Directions :

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour the parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, whisked eggs, diced ham, and finely chopped chives. Stir until the mixture is fully combined.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients bowl. Mix initially with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Once the dough begins to come together, use clean floured hands to knead and form a large dough ball. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour as needed. The dough should remain slightly sticky but manageable.
Transfer the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten it with your hands into a rough rectangle approximately 7 inches by 10 inches. It does not need to be perfectly even.
Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the dough evenly into 12 biscuit portions. Space the biscuits evenly on the baking sheet to ensure even baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are slightly golden brown and the bottoms are golden and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as they are or slice in half and use as a base for delicious breakfast sandwiches.
