Ingredients
To make your fluffy, savory High-Protein Cottage Cheese Breakfast Biscuit, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients:
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
That’s it. Five pantry-friendly ingredients for a biscuit that delivers all the flavor and comfort you crave, without weighing you down.
Step-by-Step Directions
Making this biscuit couldn’t be simpler. Follow these steps, and you’ll be enjoying a warm, fluffy treat in no time.
1. Mix the Batter
In a small bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, egg, almond flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt until smooth. Make sure everything is well combined — no dry lumps of flour hiding at the bottom.
Tip: If you want an even smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese with the egg first before adding the dry ingredients. This creates a creamier base.
2. Microwave or Bake
Now, here’s where the beauty of flexibility comes in.
- Option 1: Microwave Method
Grease a small ramekin and pour in the batter. Microwave on high for 2–3 minutes, until the biscuit is set and fluffy. - Option 2: Oven Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a ramekin or muffin tin and pour in the batter. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden on top and firm to the touch.
Tip: If you love a golden crust, the oven option is the winner. For speed and convenience, the microwave method is perfect.
3. Serve Warm
Remove your biscuit and let it cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and makes cutting easier.
Slice in half and enjoy it:
- With a simple pat of butter.
- Spread with sugar-free jam for a sweet twist.
- As the base of a sandwich layered with eggs, bacon, or avocado.
Serving & Storage Tips
This biscuit is designed to be enjoyed fresh, but here are some smart ways to store and serve it:
- Serving Ideas: Pair with scrambled eggs, top with cream cheese and smoked salmon, or use as a base for a breakfast sandwich.
- Storage: Make a double batch and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds before serving.
- Freezing: Wrap cooled biscuits tightly in foil or a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost in the fridge overnight and warm before eating.
Helpful Notes & Variations
One of the best things about this High-Protein Cottage Cheese Breakfast Biscuit is how customizable it is. You can easily tweak it to fit your taste or dietary needs.
- Herby Twist: Add garlic powder, chopped chives, or Italian seasoning to the batter.
- Cheesy Upgrade: Mix in shredded cheddar or parmesan for a richer, savory flavor.
- Vegan Option: Swap the egg with a flax egg and use dairy-free cottage cheese alternatives.
- Nut-Free Version: Replace almond flour with sunflower seed flour or oat flour (texture may vary).
- Spicy Kick: Stir in a pinch of chili flakes or jalapeños for a biscuit with bite.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I make this biscuit ahead of time?
Yes! These biscuits store beautifully. Simply refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for a month. Reheat before serving for the best texture.
2. Can I use a different flour instead of almond flour?
Absolutely. Coconut flour can work, but it absorbs more liquid, so you’ll need less (around 1 tbsp). Sunflower seed flour is another nut-free alternative.
3. What’s the best way to get a golden crust?
The oven method delivers the best golden finish. If microwaving, you can quickly toast the cooked biscuit in a skillet with a touch of butter for crisp edges.
4. Can I make this recipe without cottage cheese?
If you don’t have cottage cheese, Greek yogurt can work as a substitute. The texture will be slightly different, but it will still be fluffy and protein-rich.
5. Is this recipe suitable for keto or low-carb diets?
Yes! With only 4g net carbs per biscuit, it’s a great choice for low-carb or keto lifestyles.
