Ingredients (Makes 6–8 biscuits)

• 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat, drained if watery)
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Optional: chopped herbs (parsley or chives)

 Instructions

1. Make the Dough

• In a bowl, mix cottage cheese and egg until mostly smooth
• Stir in cheddar cheese
• Add almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt
• Mix until a thick dough forms

 If dough feels too wet, add 1–2 tbsp almond flour

2. Shape

• Scoop small portions (about 2 tbsp each)
• Shape into biscuit rounds with your hands or spoon
• Slightly flatten (they won’t spread much)

3. Air Fry

• Preheat air fryer to 180°C (350°F)
• Place biscuits in basket (use parchment if needed)
• Air fry 10–12 minutes until golden brown

4. Cool Slightly & Serve

• Let them rest 3–5 minutes
• Serve warm for best texture

 Variations

2. Spicy Kick

• Add chili flakes or jalapeños

3. Herb & Garlic

• Add Italian seasoning + extra garlic

4. Crispy Outside

• Brush tops with melted butter before air frying

 Tips for Best Results

• Drain cottage cheese well → prevents soggy dough
• Use fine almond flour (not coarse)
• Don’t overcrowd air fryer—cook in batches if needed
• Check at 10 minutes to avoid over-browning

 Q&A

Q1: Can I bake these instead?

Yes—bake at 180°C (350°F) for 18–22 minutes.

Q2: Why are my biscuits too soft?

• Too much moisture in cottage cheese
• Not enough almond flour
• Undercooked center

Q3: Can I make them dairy-free?

This one’s tricky since both cheeses are key—but you could try:

• Dairy-free cheese + thick blended tofu

Q4: How do I store them?

• Fridge: up to 4 days
• Reheat: air fryer 2–3 minutes

Q5: Can I freeze them?

Yes. Freeze after cooking, reheat straight from frozen.

 Serving Ideas

• Breakfast with eggs
• Keto sandwich buns
• Side with soup or salad
