Why Add Cottage Cheese to the Biscuit Dough?
If you haven’t ever added cottage cheese to your biscuit dough before, you are in for a treat.
AE Dairy Cottage Cheese helps keep the biscuit dough soft, tender, and moist without making the biscuit dough too heavy. It will also add the right amount of creamy texture to the biscuits without you needing to add extra butter. This keeps your breakfast lighter while keeping the texture and flavor you love.
This is also a great way to add extra protein to any biscuit you are making. Starting the day off with a Loaded Breakfast Biscuit Bake with AE Dairy Cottage Cheese is going to keep you feeling full all morning. I don’t know about you, but I can definitely get hangry in the middle of the morning if I don’t have a great breakfast to start the day. This is a great fix to that problem!
The AE Dairy Cottage Cheese melts right into the dough and gives every bite an incredible texture while adding extra nutrition. A win-win at breakfast time!
Loaded Breakfast Biscuit Bake Meal Prep Tips
Breakfast bakes are a meal prepper’s dream. They are easy to batch cook, store well, and heat up perfectly!
Make sure to store your prepped breakfast in an airtight container. If they have eggs or dairy in them, your prepped breakfast needs to stay cold. Your Loaded Breakfast Biscuit Bake will stay delicious in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to four days.
If you want to freeze it, go right ahead! You will just want to make sure it is eaten in about 3 months to have the best taste and texture.
How do you warm these up? The slices just need to be microwaved for 30-45 seconds; check them with your finger before biting in to make sure they are heated to your liking. If reheating from frozen, they might take a few more seconds.
You now have a great protein-filled breakfast you can have in a matter of seconds!

Tips for the Best Loaded Breakfast Biscuit Bake
Do not overmix the dough. This will cause the dough to be tough, and it will result in a chewier biscuit, still good but not as perfect as they could be.
After making the scrambled eggs, let them cool before mixing into the dough. This will keep extra moisture out of the biscuit dough.
If you can, use freshly shredded cheeses. Pre-shredded has a coating on it, and it does not melt into the baked item as well.
To keep your Loaded Breakfast Biscuit Bake delicious from the first bite to the last, you will want to chop all your mix-ins into smaller pieces. This will help them mix in evenly.
