Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using turkey sausage instead of pork. You can also substitute ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese for a creamier texture. If you want extra flavor, add some chopped herbs like chives or parsley to the cheese mixture. For a fun twist, try mixing in some cooked vegetables like spinach or bell peppers. These biscuits are also great for a Make Ahead Breakfast.
