Protein Breakfast Biscuits Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant.
Add the chicken breakfast sausage and cook for another 7–8 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles, until fully cooked and the center of the largest crumbles reaches 165°F. Drain excess liquid or grease, then spread the mixture out slightly in the skillet and let it cool until no longer hot.
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the cottage cheese, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl, then fold into the egg mixture just until no dry flour remains.
Fold in the cooled sausage mixture and cheddar until evenly distributed. The batter should be thick and scoopable.
Scoop approximately ¼-cup portions onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them. Expect approximately 20 biscuits.
Bake for 22–25 minutes, rotating the baking sheets between racks if baking together, until lightly golden and set in the center. The centers should reach 165°F.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Practical Woman's Secret
Cook off excess moisture from the sausage and vegetables before adding them to the batter. Let the mixture cool so it does not begin cooking the eggs, and fold gently after adding the flour to keep the biscuits tender.
Serving and Storage
Serve two biscuits per portion, with fresh fruit alongside if desired. Refrigerate in an airtight container within 2 hours and use within 3–4 days. For longer storage, freeze individually on a tray, then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave or a 350°F oven until the centers reach 165°F.
