Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. -
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth. -
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together flour, flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt. -
Form the Dough:
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms. -
Add Mix-ins:
Fold in your spinach, chives, 1 cup of cheese, and ham (or your chosen variation). Use your hands to combine thoroughly. -
Shape the Biscuits:
Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 even disks (about ⅓ cup each). Place them on the baking tray, spaced evenly apart. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. -
Bake:
Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and continue baking for 20 minutes without opening the oven.
When the bottoms are golden brown and the tops slightly browned, they’re ready! -
Cool and Serve:
Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Pair with berries or Greek yogurt for a balanced breakfast.
Notes
- These are denser biscuits than traditional flaky ones—thanks to the yogurt base, they’re heartier, protein-packed, and more filling.
- You can swap ground flaxseed for an extra ¼ cup of flour, but this will slightly reduce the protein content.
- Always make sure any meat add-ins are fully cooked before mixing into the dough.
- To make gluten-free biscuits, use a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
- For dairy-free, opt for thick non-dairy yogurt and vegan cheese.
- For freezer-friendly meal prep, cool biscuits completely before storing. Layer with parchment paper in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
