Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Blend the cottage cheese until smooth in a separate bowl.
- Mix 1 cup of the blended cottage cheese with 8 tablespoons of melted garlic butter in another bowl.

- Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into round biscuits.

When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until they are warmed through and still tender.
Pro chef tips
- For an even richer flavor, use high-quality garlic butter or make your own by infusing butter with fresh garlic and herbs.
- Don’t rush the mixing! Ensure all ingredients are combined without overworking the dough, which can lead to tough biscuits.
- Make sure your cottage cheese is at room temperature; this helps integrate it smoothly into the dry ingredients.
- Experiment with different herbs, like chives or dill, for an exciting twist on the classic recipe!
Creative twists
Feel free to get creative with your biscuits! You can add cooked bacon bits for a savory twist or even mix in some chopped jalapeños for an extra kick. If you’re looking to make these biscuits a little lighter, substitute some of the cottage cheese with Greek yogurt. You might also try switching out the cheddar for a pepper jack or even a creamy goat cheese to introduce new flavors.
