Base Biscuit
- 1 3/4 cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 4 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
Ham, Cheese & Chive Variation
- 1.5 cups spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup chives, finely diced
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
- 2 cups cooked ham, diced
Mediterranean Sausage Variation
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups Italian chicken sausage, cooked and 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 400F and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
- Mix dry ingredients: In another medium bowl, combine flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring well to combine into a dough.
- Add mix-ins: Add your chosen vegetables, herbs, cooked meat, and 1 cup of cheese into the dough. Mix thoroughly; using your hands may help ensure even incorporation.
- Shape the biscuits: Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 equal portions, shaping each into a 1-inch thick round disk (about ⅓ cup of batter each). Arrange on the prepared tray with space between each biscuit.
- Top with cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly on top of each biscuit for a delicious crust.
- Bake: Bake at 400F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350F and continue baking for 20 minutes without opening the oven. Bake until bottoms are golden brown and tops start to brown.
Notes
- These biscuits are denser and heartier than traditional flaky biscuits due to the lack of butter and fat, making them perfect for a filling breakfast.
- The ground flaxseed can be substituted with an additional ¼ cup of flour, though this will slightly reduce the protein content.
- Ensure any meat used is fully cooked before adding it to the batter for food safety.
- Nutritional values are estimated based on the original Ham, Cheese & Chive variation; actual values may vary.
