Protein Biscuits

These High-Protein Egg Biscuits are one of my favorites breakfasts for busy mornings! With 21 grams of protein, just 18 grams of carbs, and lots of veggies, they’re savory, filling, and perfect for the entire family. The cottage cheese makes them super soft and fluffy, and the cheese melts as the biscuits bake, creating a soft, gooey consistency. They only take about 40 minutes to make and store, and they reheat well, so all I have to do is warm them up before heading out the door. Add them to your weekly meal prep, and you’ll thank yourself later. Every bite is SO good!
