Ingredients

1 tablespoon avocado oil
½ cup minced green onion about 3 scallions
1 pound (5 links) Italian chicken sausage removed from casing
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour or half all purpose, half whole wheat flour OR half all-purpose, half almond flour (lower carb)
2 tablespoons hemp hearts
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
1 ¾ cups low-fat cottage cheese, lightly blended or low-fat Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
¾ cup liquid egg whites or 4 egg whites
½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
4 oz crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add green onions and sausage. Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, flaxseed, hemp hearts, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, thyme, and pepper flakes (if using).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, eggs, egg whites, cooked sausage mixture, sun dried tomatoes, and feta cheese.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cottage cheese mix. Mix until just combined (you may need to use your hands to ensure everything is fully mixed together). The mixture will be wet and sloppy. Do not overmix.
Scoop portions of dough with a large cookie scoop onto the prepared baking sheets (about 16 biscuits). Press down slightly with a damp hand.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes, then drop the oven temperature down to 350 degrees F and continue baking for an additional 15-17 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops just begin to brown.

Notes

COTTAGE CHEESE - different brands of cottage cheese may affect the recipe. Recipe was tested with Daisy and Good Culture.

FLAXSEED - ground flaxseed can be replaced with an additional ¼ cup of flour, but this will alter the protein content.

EGG WHITES - I decided to use half egg whites to cut down on fat. If you prefer to use whole eggs, replace the egg whites with 2 large eggs (4 whole eggs total).
