Ingredients for Everything Bagel Seasoning Biscuit
Gather these simple ingredients—most are probably already in your kitchen! Here’s exactly what you’ll need (and why each one matters):
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese – full-fat or 2% for richness (low-fat versions make the biscuit dry)
- 1 large egg – your binder and leavening helper
- 3 tbsp almond flour – blanched, fine grind for that perfect tender crumb
1 tbsp “Everything But The Bagel” seasoning – plus extra for sprinkling (because more is always better!)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder – the lift that makes it biscuit-y, not pancake-y
- Pinch of salt – balances all those savory flavors
See? Nothing weird or hard-to-find—just pantry staples ready to become something magical.
Equipment Needed
You won’t need any fancy gadgets for this—just grab:
- A small mixing bowl (I use my favorite cereal bowl in a pinch)
- A fork or small whisk (no stand mixer required!)
- A 4-inch ramekin or microwave-safe mug
- Your trusty microwave or oven
That’s it! Now let’s make some biscuit magic happen.
How to Make Everything Bagel Seasoning Biscuit
Okay, let’s get to the fun part—making this little miracle happen! Whether you’re microwaving for speed or baking for extra crispiness, here’s exactly how I do it:
Step 1: Mix It Up Right
Grab your bowl and toss in the cottage cheese, egg, almond flour, that glorious everything seasoning, baking powder, and salt. Now, here’s my trick—whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until it’s totally smooth. No lumps! The batter should be thick but pourable, like pancake batter with attitude. If it looks too runny, add another half tablespoon of almond flour.
Step 2: Prep Your Pan
Grease that ramekin or mug really well—I use butter or nonstick spray, making sure to get all the nooks. Pour in the batter and smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Now, the best part—sprinkle extra everything seasoning on top (be generous—this is what gives you that crunchy, flavorful crust!).
Step 3: Cook It Your Way
Microwave method: Pop it in on high for 2 minutes. Check it—if the center still looks wet, give it another 15-30 seconds. It should pull away from the sides slightly and spring back when touched.
Oven method: Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. The oven gives it slightly more crisp edges—perfect if you’re patient!
Step 4: The Grand Finale
Let it cool for a minute (I know, torture!), then run a knife around the edges and flip it onto a plate. Admire your masterpiece—that golden top speckled with seeds and spices! Slice it warm or tear into it like I do—no judgment here.
Tips for Perfect Everything Bagel Seasoning Biscuit
Want to make sure your biscuit turns out flawless every time? Here are my hard-earned secrets after making about a hundred of these babies:
- Microwave magic: Ovens vary—if yours runs hot, start checking at 1 minute 45 seconds. The top should look dry but still spring back lightly when touched.
- Texture check: Too dense? Your batter was overmixed. Too crumbly? Probably needed another 10 seconds in the microwave. Perfection takes practice!
- Seasoning pro tip: Press extra seasoning lightly into the batter before cooking—it sticks better than just sprinkling on top.
- Cooling is key: Let it rest 2 minutes before removing from the ramekin—that patience prevents crumbly disasters!
Follow these, and you’ll nail it on the first try—promise!
Variations for Everything Bagel Seasoning Biscuit
Once you’ve mastered the basic version, try these fun twists to keep things exciting! (I’ve tested them all—no duds here.)
- Cheesy upgrade: Swap cottage cheese for ricotta or goat cheese for extra richness. A sprinkle of cheddar on top? Yes, please!
- Herb lover’s dream: Fold in fresh chives, dill, or rosemary—they play so nicely with the everything seasoning.
- Spicy kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the batter—wakes up your taste buds!
- Seed swap: No everything seasoning? Make your own mix with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and onion powder.
See? Endless ways to make this biscuit your own. What’ll you try first?
Serving Suggestions
Oh, the possibilities with this biscuit! My absolute favorite? Slicing it warm and slathering with creamy avocado—it’s like fancy brunch at home. For special mornings, top it with smoked salmon and a dollop of cream cheese (hello, lox vibes!). Or go full breakfast sandwich mode—fried egg, crispy bacon, the works! The sturdy texture holds up beautifully no matter how you dress it.
Storage and Reheating
These biscuits are best fresh, but if you’ve got leftovers (rare in my house!), here’s how to keep them happy: Let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. To reheat, I pop them in the toaster oven for 3 minutes—gets them crispy again! Microwave works too (15-20 seconds), but they’ll be softer. Pro tip: Freeze extras wrapped in foil—just thaw and reheat when the craving strikes!
Nutritional Information
Here’s the lowdown on what’s in each savory bite of this everything bagel seasoning biscuit (and why I don’t feel guilty eating two!):
14g protein – thanks to that powerhouse combo of egg and cottage cheese
14g fat – the good kind from almond flour and egg yolks
8g net carbs (just 5g if you subtract the 3g fiber!)
Note: Numbers can vary slightly based on your exact ingredients—like using 2% vs full-fat cottage cheese. But no matter what, it’s a way better choice than that sugar-loaded muffin!
Frequently Asked Questions
I get asked about this everything bagel seasoning biscuit all the time—here are the answers to the questions that pop up most often in my kitchen (and inbox!):
Can I bake this instead of microwaving? Absolutely! The oven gives it slightly crispier edges—just bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes. Watch for that golden top and springy texture. I actually prefer oven-baked when I’ve got the extra time.
Will Greek yogurt work instead of cottage cheese? Yes, but the texture changes—it’ll be more dense. Use the same amount, but maybe add an extra pinch of baking powder to help it rise. Personally? I miss the little curds that cottage cheese gives, but it’s a decent swap in a pinch.
Why is mine gummy in the middle? Ah, the classic microwave dilemma! It needed another 15-30 seconds. The top should look totally set, not shiny-wet. Ovens can do this too if your temp’s too low—I learned that the hard way!
Can I make a bigger batch? You bet! Double or triple everything—just cook in individual ramekins (don’t try one big bowl, or the center won’t set right). These actually freeze beautifully too—I always stash a few for emergency breakfasts.
No almond flour—what else works? Coconut flour needs way less liquid (start with 1 tbsp), but honestly, almond flour’s the MVP here. If you’re nut-free, sunflower seed flour’s your best bet, though it’ll taste earthier.
