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, added after baking)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your baking surface by either lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or greasing a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and room temperature eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This creates the base for your biscuit dough.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which helps keep the biscuits tender.
- Fold in Add-Ins: Choose your favorite add-in mix – either the Ham & Cheese Chive or Mediterranean Sausage ingredients. Gently fold these into the dough evenly to distribute flavors throughout the biscuits.
- Scoop Dough: Using a ⅓ cup measure, scoop the dough onto your prepared sheet or fill the muffin wells if using a muffin tin. Shape lightly if needed, using wet hands to manage the sticky dough.
- Top & Bake: Sprinkle the reserved cheese or feta over the tops of the biscuits for a golden, melty finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving or storing. This resting time helps the texture set perfectly.
Notes
- Wet your hands to easily shape the sticky biscuit dough without it sticking to your fingers.
- Freeze cooled biscuits in a ziplock bag for convenient meal prep; reheat in the microwave for about 45 seconds.
- Feel free to swap out meats or cheeses in the recipe to customize flavors and keep breakfast exciting.
- If using fresh basil for the Mediterranean add-ins, sprinkle it on after baking to preserve its bright flavor.
