Description
These Herbed Cottage Cheese Biscuits are tender, flaky, and packed with flavor from fresh herbs and creamy cottage cheese. They’re a lighter twist on classic biscuits — perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side to soups and stews.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup milk (plus more if needed)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
- 1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing tops)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in cottage cheese, milk, parsley, chives, and thyme until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons more milk.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead a few times to bring it together. Pat or roll to about 1-inch thickness.
- Cut biscuits using a 2-inch cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Brush tops lightly with melted butter.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with butter or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
- Use dried herbs if fresh ones aren’t available — reduce the amount by half.
- For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the dough.
- These biscuits freeze well — just reheat in the oven before serving.
- Use whole milk cottage cheese for richer texture.
