Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Preheat skillet on medium-high heat and add bacon. Fry until crispy on both sides and transfer to a plate.
To the skillet, add onion and bell pepper, fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a large bowl.
Chop bacon and add it to the bowl with veggies along with cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, green onion, baking powder, salt and pepper; then whisk. Add flour and stir with spatula until thick dough forms.
Using 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop the dough, pack it in and place on a baking sheet, leaving some room in between. Biscuits spread a bit but not much. Use 2nd sheet, if necessary. Sprinkle each with a bit of Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through and slightly golden brown. Don't over bake so biscuits don't dry out.
Remove from the oven and enjoy warm on their own or make a breakfast sandwich.

Notes

Store: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
Freeze: Freeze in a resealable Ziploc bag for 3 months. Thaw on a counter for a few hours.
Reheat: I usually microwave one for 20-30 seconds when I’m in a rush, but they’re even better warmed in the oven at 375 F for 5-10 minutes or crisped up in the air fryer at 350 F for 4-5 minutes.
Bacon: I used 3 slices of thick-cut nitrate free applewood smoked bacon like this one. If you use flavored bacon, it'll add even more flavor to the biscuits but regular bacon works too. If it's not thick cut bacon, I recommend to use 4 strips.
