Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform in texture.
Add cheeses and mix-ins: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cooked bacon, chopped fresh spinach, and sliced black olives until everything is evenly combined.
Incorporate dry ingredients: Add the baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour until a thick dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
Shape the biscuits: Using a spoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in mounded portions. Lightly flatten each mound with the back of the spoon to shape the biscuits.
Bake the biscuits: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Cool and store: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

Make sure not to overmix the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
For a vegetarian version, omit bacon and consider adding smoked paprika or additional vegetables for flavor.
These biscuits freeze well; thaw them overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.
Use fresh spinach for best flavor and texture; wilted spinach can add excess moisture.
Adjust seasoning to taste based on your preference for salt and pepper.
