Better than Red Lobster Garlic Herb Biscuits

Written by on in Appetizer, Bread, Side Dish, Snack

My eight year-old was manipulated by Daisy Cottage Cheese commercials. I did warn her she wouldn’t like cottage cheese, but she insisted. I figured I could spend the $3 on cottage cheese because if she did like it, it is a healthy protein-based food. Alas. She did not like it. So I started looking for what I could do with it. I came across a biscuit recipe. Then I started to think about those delicious Red Lobster biscuits that are SO bad for you but SO delicious. Then I looked at the leftover broccoli, and decided, I would use the cottage cheese, broccoli, and some protein powder to make healthy garlic-cheese biscuits. They came out so good that I wanted to share the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of broccoli

  • 2 cloves of garlic, grated or minced

  • 20 oz. of fat-free cottage cheese

  • 1/2 cup of frozen butter

  • 2 cups of Kodiak protein powder for waffles or pancakes

  • 1 egg

  • 3/4 cup fat-free shredded cheddar, reserving 1/4 cup for topping

  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

  • 2 TBS Italian seasonings

  • Salt and pepper

  • Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • With non-stick cooking spray, sauté the broccoli with the grated garlic until softened.
  • Meanwhile, add the cottage cheese to a blender/food processor (I love my Ninja blender).
  • Add the cooked broccoli to the blender, and blend the cottage cheese with the broccoli until smooth.
  • To a large bowl, add the protein powder.
  • Take the butter out of the freeze and grate the butter into the protein powder. Use a pastry blender to blend the butter into the powder. You will know it is done when it forms pea-sized balls.
  • Add egg, cheeses, cottage cheese-broccoli mixture, and seasonings to the bowl. Mix to combine.
  • Spray some silicone liners with non-stick cooking spray. Add dough to liner just about the top of the liner. Alternatively, put parchment paper down on a cookie sheet. Scoop out a biscuit and drop onto the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Add reserved cheddar cheese to the top of each muffin.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

  • Muffins are great for a snack or breakfast. You can freeze and take out one as needed for an on the go treat.
