A warm, tender cottage cheese mug biscuit made with almond flour, egg, and baking powder in about 5 minutes.
# Ingredients:
For one biscuit
01 -
1/4 cup (60 g) small-curd cottage cheese
02 -
1 large egg
03 -
3 tablespoons (21 g) almond flour
04 -
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
05 -
1 teaspoon melted butter, plus more for greasing
06 -
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
07 -
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
08 -
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, optional
For serving
09 -
Butter, honey, jam, or extra chives, as desired
# Instructions:
01 -
Lightly grease a 6-ounce ramekin or wide microwave-safe mug with butter or cooking spray.
02 -
Add cottage cheese and egg to a small bowl. Mash very well with a fork, or blend briefly for a smoother biscuit.
03 -
Stir in almond flour, baking powder, melted butter, salt, garlic powder, and chives until just combined. The batter should be thick and spoonable.
04 -
Scrape the batter into the prepared ramekin. Microwave on high for 75-95 seconds, until the top looks set and springs back lightly.
05 -
Let the biscuit stand for 1 minute. Turn it out, split it, and serve warm. For crisp edges, toast the cut sides in a buttered skillet for 1-2 minutes.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served warm right after cooking.
02 -
Microwave strength varies, so begin checking at 75 seconds.
03 -
For a sweeter biscuit, omit garlic powder and chives and add cinnamon.
