Ingredients

For the Base Biscuit:

1 +¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt

4 eggs

2 + ½ cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup ground flaxseed

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

For the Ham, Cheese & Chive Variation:

1.5 cups spinach (chopped)

½ cup chives (finely diced)

1.5 cups cheddar cheese (shredded, divided)

2 cups cooked ham (diced)

For the Mediterranean Sausage Variation:

½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)

2 cups Italian chicken sausage (cooked, removed from casing)

1.5 cups feta cheese

1.5 cups spinach (chopped)

2 teaspoons dried basil

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  • Mix Wet Ingredients:
    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.

  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until combined.

  • Add Mix-ins:
    Fold in your choice of vegetables, herbs, cooked meats, and 1 cup of cheese (reserve the remaining cheese for topping). Mix everything thoroughly, and you may want to use your hands to ensure everything is fully incorporated.

  • Shape the Biscuits:
    Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 equal-sized, 1-inch thick biscuits. Arrange them on the prepared baking tray. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

  • Bake:
    Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes. The biscuits are done when the bottoms are golden brown, and the tops are lightly browned.

Notes

  • These biscuits are denser and heartier than traditional flaky biscuits, perfect for a filling breakfast or meal prep.

  • You can substitute the ground flaxseed with an extra ¼ cup of flour, but this will reduce the protein content.

  • If using different meats, make sure to cook them beforehand before adding them to the dough.
