Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour or a mix with protein flour/almond flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unflavored protein powder (optional)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked turkey sausage, diced
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped spinach or bell peppers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and optional protein powder.
- Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in cheese, sausage, and optional vegetables.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk, then pour into dry mixture. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
- Scoop portions of dough (about 1/3 cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Swap turkey sausage for cooked beef for a different flavor.
- Add chopped jalapeños for spice.
- Use mozzarella, pepper jack, or feta instead of cheddar.
- Make vegetarian by omitting meat and adding extra veggies.
- Boost protein with cottage cheese or Greek yogurt in the dough.
