Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 2 handfuls baby spinach, rough chopped
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, rinsed off and patted dry
Egg & Dairy
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan
Flours & Leavening
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes until softened. Stir in chopped spinach and minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until the spinach is just wilted. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess moisture.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lightly beaten eggs, sautéed spinach mixture, rinsed sun dried tomatoes, and cottage cheese. Stir thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Cheese: To the wet mixture, add almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, shredded mozzarella, and parmesan. Mix everything thoroughly until the batter is well combined and uniform.
- Form Biscuits: Using a large scooper or spoon, portion about 1/4 cup of the batter per biscuit onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each mound down slightly and top each with a small amount of extra mozzarella cheese for a golden crust.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
