1. Prep for gourmet success: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—this prevents sticking and makes cleanup so much easier with lamb mixtures.
2. Create the protein base: In a large bowl, combine the cooked lamb with cooled quinoa until evenly mixed and creating an incredibly aromatic foundation (your dog will start gathering hopefully from the sophisticated smell).
3. Add the gourmet touches: Fold in chopped parsley, egg, olive oil, and minced rosemary, mixing gently but thoroughly until every ingredient is distributed and the mixture smells like fine dining.
4. Roll with elegance: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the mixture to about 1/2 inch thickness—not too thin or they’ll be fragile, not too thick or they won’t cook evenly.
5. Cut with precision: Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut into uniform shapes—consistent sizing ensures even baking and professional presentation your pup will appreciate.
6. Space for perfection: Place cut biscuits on your prepared baking sheet with space between each one for proper air circulation and even browning.
7. Bake to gourmet perfection: Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm to the touch and lightly golden—start checking at 20 minutes since herb-infused treats can go from perfect to overcooked quickly.
8. Cool for optimal flavor: Let these cool completely before serving since the herb flavors actually develop more as they cool, and hot baked goods can burn your pup’s mouth!

Notes:

• Always use fresh herbs—Amber can taste the difference between fresh and dried rosemary
• Don’t overmix the dough or you’ll develop the proteins too much and get tough biscuits
• These freeze beautifully individually wrapped for convenient gourmet rewards

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks for maximum freshness
• Can be frozen for up to 1 month—just thaw individual biscuits as needed
• Keep away from humidity to maintain that perfect crispy texture dogs love
