Cottage Cheese and Green Onion Biscuits – Vegetarian + GF (Edit recipe)

For some reason I've been craving all things comfort food recently, and this morning was no exception. Maybe it's the rainy, dreary weather we've bee having, but I woke up wanting a warm, buttery biscuit. I immediately thought of this cheesy biscuit-like bread with green onions that they serve at a local restaurant. So I figured why not try to make an easy, healthier version that I could enjoy at home. I decided to swap out cheddar for cottage cheese and thought it would not only bring a great flavor but also a nice consistency. I decided to go gluten free since I have quinoa flour on hand, making them packed with protein between those two ingredients.

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
Mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add in the cottage cheese, milk, and green onion, and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Spread some extra flour on a surface, and move the dough on it.
Sprinkle some extra flour on top, and knead the dough with your hands until thoroughly mixed.
Form the dough in a ball, and roll it out with a rolling pin to about 1 inch thickness.
Using a biscuit cutter or floured glass about 2 inches in diameter, cut the dough into biscuit-shaped pieces.
Place the biscuits onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake the biscuits in the oven for 15 minutes until golden brown on top.
Remove, serve, and enjoy!
