Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the biscuits.
Heat Oil: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil, warming it up for cooking.
Cook Sausage and Veggies: Add the finely diced red onion, bell pepper, ground sausage, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 7-10 minutes until the sausage is fully cooked and the vegetables are softened. Drain any excess liquid to avoid sogginess.
Whisk Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the six large eggs, all-purpose seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined for the batter base.
Mix Cottage Cheese: Stir the cottage cheese into the egg mixture, integrating moisture and protein.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and baking powder. Then gently fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, taking care not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
Add Sausage Mixture: Incorporate the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture into the batter, mixing just until everything is evenly combined.
Portion Dough: Using an ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the biscuit dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Top each biscuit with shredded cheese.
Bake and Serve: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 20 to 21 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove, let cool slightly, and enjoy warm.

Notes

You can substitute ground breakfast sausage with chicken or pork as preferred.
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free all-purpose flour instead of regular all-purpose flour.
Drain excess liquid after cooking the sausage and vegetables to ensure biscuit dough is not too wet.
Do not overmix the dough after adding dry ingredients to maintain biscuit fluffiness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
