Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cayenne, chilled butter, Havarti, and Parmesan in food processor until mixture resembles wet sand -- about 10 one second pulses.
Transfer to large bowl.
Process cottage cheese, milk, dill and lemon juice in food processor until smooth.
Stir cottage cheese mixture into flour mixture until well combined.
On lightly floured work space, knead dough until smooth, 8 to 10 kneads.
Pay dough into 7 inch circle about 1 inch thick.
Using 2 inch biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut out rounds of dough and invert onto prepared baking sheet.
Gather remaining dough and pat into 1 inch thick circle and cut out remaining biscuits.
Bake until golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter.
Cool 5 minutes.
Serve warm or hot.
The biscuits will keep at room temperature for up to one day.
