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, added after baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous, providing a moist base for the biscuits.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using) just until combined to form a dough. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  4. Incorporate Mix-ins: Fold in your choice of add-ins: either the ham and cheese chive mix or the Mediterranean sausage mix, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Scoop Dough: Using a ⅓ cup measuring scoop, portion out the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet spaced apart or fill each well of the muffin tin.
  6. Top & Bake: Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese or feta cheese on top of each biscuit. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  7. 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

  • You can customize these biscuits by choosing between the ham & cheese mix or the Mediterranean sausage blend based on your flavor preference.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and add extra cheese and vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
  • Make sure the spinach is well wilted and squeezed dry to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
  • Room temperature eggs help the batter combine more smoothly for better texture.
  • Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • To reheat, warm them in the oven or microwave until heated through.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for desired spiciness or omit for a milder biscuit.
