ShareIngredients
250g lean Quality Mark beef mince
cook ahead of time and allow to cool2 tsp olive oil
½ onion
diced
3 eggs
1 cup cheese
grated⅓ cup feta cheese
crumbled250g cottage cheese
2 cups baby spinach
chopped1¼ cups plain flour
½ Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp garlic powder
pinch of salt and pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 ℃ and prepare a baking sheet.
Heat oil in a pan and cook the onion for a few minutes until soft. Add the beef mince and break apart as it cooks. Set aside to cool. *Note you could use 1.5-2 cups of leftover beef mince from another meal.
Meanwhile, whisk eggs in a large bowl, then mix in ¾ of the grated cheese, the feta, cottage cheese and baby spinach.
Stir in the cooked beef mince.
Fold in the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Use your hands to roll into balls and place on the baking sheet (makes ~9 large or ~18 small). You might need to use a bit of flour to press them down then sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese over the top.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes; then for a crispy finish, place them under the grill for another 2-3 minutes until golden.
Pro tips for these high protein biscuits:
- Put them under the grill for a few minutes right at the end so the cheese becomes golden.
- Cook in bulk and freeze any leftovers (if you have any) to reheat and eat on busy days.
- These make a great high protein snack for hungry teens! Throw them in a lunchbox or keep them on standby for after training.
- For a balanced meal, serve a couple of biscuits alongside a fresh salad.
