Ingredients
  

  • Base Biscuit
  • 1 3/4 cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • Ham, Cheese & Chive Variation
  • 1.5 cups spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chives, finely diced
  • 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
  • 2 cups cooked ham, diced
  • Mediterranean Sausage Variation
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups Italian chicken sausage, cooked and removed from casing
  • 1.5 cups feta cheese
  • 1.5 cups spinach, chopped
  • 2 tsp dried basil

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment Paper
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs. In another bowl, combine flour, flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined.
  3. Fold in vegetables, herbs, cooked meat, and 1 cup of cheese. Mix until well incorporated — use hands if necessary.
  4. Lightly flour hands and divide the dough into 12 even round biscuits, about ⅓ cup each. Place on the prepared tray and top with remaining cheese.
  5. Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake an additional 20 minutes, without opening the oven, until golden brown.
  6. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm or store for meal prep.

Notes

Note: These biscuits are denser than traditional buttery biscuits — perfect for a filling, protein-packed breakfast.
Variations: Try Ham, Cheese & Chive or Mediterranean Sausage versions for flavorful twists!
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Substitution: Ground flaxseed can be replaced with ¼ cup more flour (though this will reduce protein slightly). Ensure any meat is fully cooked before mixing into the dough.
