Easy Spinach + Feta Egg Biscuits (Low Carb)
These spinach and feta egg biscuits are designed to be gluten-free, low-carb, and high-protein. They cleverly swap traditional pastry for a tender, egg-based structure. The combination of earthy spinach, salty feta, and briny olives creates an authentic Mediterranean flavor profile that truly elevates a simple egg dish.
The genius of this recipe lies in its simplicity and nutritional impact. Using eggs as the primary binder eliminates the need for all purpose flour, making them inherently gluten-free and low-carb. The substantial protein from both the eggs, cottage cheese and feta ensures these biscuits are incredibly satisfying.
Ideal for meal prepping or a quick, flavorful breakfast, these spinach, feta, and olive egg biscuits are a versatile addition to any healthy eating plan. Their individual portion size makes them convenient for busy mornings, and they reheat beautifully.

Ingredients
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 scallions, diced
- 2 handfuls baby spinach, rough chop
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- salt + pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the scallions and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Next, add in the spinach and garlic and sauté until just wilted-1 minute. Then remove from the burner, transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add in the eggs and beat them for 30 seconds. Toss in the cottage cheese and mix together until incorporated. Next, add in almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, spinach mixture, olives, mozzarella, feta and mix until combined. Then, use a large scooper and transfer about 1/4 cup to the baking sheet, OPTIONAL: Gently top each with a little more mozzarella or feta cheese. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to set in a pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
- These reheat up great but I typically just grab them out of the fridge and enjoy!
Suggestions for cottage cheese sub as I am unable to eat dairy. Vegan cheese? Vegan feta? Also have vegan ricotta… These look excellent, would love to make.
A fantastic vegetarian, high-protein healthy option with the possibility of multiple modifications
Made these tonight for the first time. They tasted really good despite the fact that my batter turned out wetter than I think it should have. The instructions just say 6 “eggs” but maybe it should specify between say Large eggs vs Small eggs. Also the instructions say Cottage cheese … maybe specify Large curd, medium or small curd as I think the small curd may have made mine more watery. Once I had to add additional flour to dry it out, I’m afraid it may have affected the baking powder to flour ratio.
Also the recipe doesn’t specify where the oven rack should sit in the oven if closer to the top or the bottom, in the middle, as I think mine may have been a little to close to the top heat element and burned a little my mozzarella topping. Looking forward to making more of your delicious looking recipes.
hey there Stella I love your recipes but i’need to keep fats intake down. what can you suggest I do? please reply thankyou.

HI Orsi, Yes you can! Enjoy!
I made the easy Feta Egg Biscuits. They were delicious! They really satisfied my love of savory foods! I did make them with sharp cheddar cheese, because I forgot to buy mozzarella, and my son and husband don’t like feta, and they were still wonderful. I am looking forward to using feta next time! This recipe is a keeper!
HI Barbara, I’m so glad the recipe was a hit with the guys too! Thanks for the kind feedback!
