🧀 Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (8-count) can Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits (regular or reduced-fat)
- 8 cubes light mozzarella cheese or string cheese pieces (1-inch cubes)
- ¼ cup low-fat cottage cheese (optional – adds extra protein and moisture)
- 1 scoop unflavored or savory protein powder (optional but effective for a protein boost)
Garlic Butter Topping:
- 1 tbsp olive oil or light butter
- 1 tbsp Greek yogurt (to make it creamy and protein-rich)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
🥣 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Biscuits:
Separate each biscuit and flatten slightly with your fingers. - Add Cheese & Protein:
Place 1 cheese cube and a small dollop of cottage cheese (if using) in the center of each biscuit.
Optionally sprinkle a little protein powder inside (¼ tsp each) — it mixes invisibly once baked! - Seal & Shape:
Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal tightly. Roll into a smooth ball. - Bake:
Arrange seam-side down on the baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes, until golden brown. - Make Garlic Butter:
While baking, mix olive oil, Greek yogurt, garlic, Italian seasoning, parsley, and Parmesan in a small bowl. - Brush & Serve:
Brush warm biscuits with the garlic butter mixture right after baking.
Serve immediately — cheesy, melty perfection!
💪 High-Protein Tips
- Use light mozzarella or part-skim string cheese — each piece adds ~7g of protein.
- Add cottage cheese inside for extra protein and creaminess.
- Mix Greek yogurt into your butter topping instead of heavy butter — adds flavor, less fat, more protein.
- Pair with Greek yogurt marinara dip for an even higher-protein snack!
