Recipe tips & variations
Feel free to get creative with these biscuits. You can substitute the ham with turkey or skip it altogether for a vegetarian version. Adding diced jalapeños or switching out the cheddar for pepper jack can add a nice kick.
Storage & reheating
Store these biscuits in an airtight container for up to three days. For reheating, pop them in the oven at 350℉ for a few minutes or microwave them for a quick 20 seconds.
FAQs
Can I use regular cottage cheese instead of 2% blended? Yes, but blend it a bit to achieve a smoother texture that blends better with the dough.
Can I freeze these biscuits? Absolutely! They freeze well for up to a month. Just thaw and reheat as needed.
What can I serve with these biscuits? They pair wonderfully with a fried or poached egg, or even alongside a fruit salad for a fresh touch.
