These protein-packed ham and cheese biscuits are fluffy, savory, and perfect when you want something hearty but still lighter.
They get a boost from cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, so each bite feels rich without being heavy.
Serve them warm for a quick breakfast, an easy grab-and-go snack, or alongside a simple soup or salad.
Order the ingredients from your local store for pickup or delivery (US only).

Preheat your oven to 425°F with a rack in the center position.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it so the biscuits release easily.
In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and egg until well combined.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips.
Stop when the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with a few small pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the cottage cheese mixture.
Use a spatula to gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet just until a shaggy dough forms.
If the dough feels very dry, sprinkle in 1 to 2 teaspoons of extra yogurt and fold again briefly.
Add the diced ham, shredded cheddar, and chopped chives to the bowl.
Gently fold them into the dough until everything looks evenly distributed without overmixing.
The dough will be thick and slightly sticky, which helps keep the biscuits tender and moist.
Use a large spoon or scoop to drop 8 equal mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Leave a little space between each biscuit so they have room to puff and spread slightly.
If you like taller biscuits, keep the mounds high; for wider biscuits, gently pat the tops a bit flatter.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the tops are golden and the biscuits feel set when gently touched.
Let the biscuits cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Serve warm for the best texture and melty cheese pockets.

These protein-packed ham and cheese biscuits are lovely with scrambled eggs or a quick yogurt parfait for breakfast.
For a cozy dinner, serve them alongside tomato soup or a big green salad instead of regular bread.
You can also add a pinch of smoked paprika or minced jalapeño to the dough for a fun flavor twist.
