Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1¾ cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt
- 4 Large Eggs (room temperature)
- 2½ cups All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup Ground Flaxseed
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
Ham & Cheese Chive Add-ins
- 1½ cups Spinach, wilted & squeezed dry
- ½ cup Chives, chopped
- 1½ cups Cheddar Cheese (½ cup reserved for topping)
- 2 cups Diced Ham
Mediterranean Sausage Add-ins
- 2 cups Cooked Italian Chicken Sausage, crumbled
- ½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped
- 1½ cups Feta Cheese (½ cup reserved for topping)
- 2 tsp Dried Basil (or ¼ cup fresh basil, added after baking)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly grease a muffin tin if you prefer that shape for your biscuits.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and room temperature eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using), mixing just until all the dry ingredients are incorporated without overmixing.
- Fold in Add-ins: Carefully fold in your choice of mix-ins: either the ham & cheese chive combination (spinach, chives, cheddar cheese, diced ham) or the Mediterranean sausage blend (Italian chicken sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, dried basil).
- Scoop Dough: Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup, scoop the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet or distribute evenly into the muffin tin wells. Make sure to leave a bit of space between each biscuit.
- Top & Bake: Sprinkle the reserved cheese (cheddar or feta depending on your chosen add-ins) evenly over the tops of the biscuits. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to touch.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving or storing to let them set properly.
Notes
- To make shaping the sticky dough easier, keep your hands wet when scooping and forming the biscuits.
- These biscuits freeze well once cooled; store them in a zip-top bag for up to 1 month and reheat for about 45 seconds in the microwave.
- Feel free to swap meats or cheeses as you like to keep your breakfasts exciting and tailored to your preferences.
