Ingredients
- 1¾ cups 420g plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 4 large eggs
- 2½ cups 300g all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup 25g ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp 3g garlic powder
- ½ tsp 1g red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp 12g baking powder
- 2 tsp 10g salt
Ham & Cheese Variation:
- 1½ cups 90g chopped spinach, wilted and squeezed dry
- ½ cup 30g chopped chives
- 1½ cups 150g shredded cheddar (reserve ½ cup for topping)
- 2 cups 200g diced ham
Mediterranean Sausage Variation:
- ½ cup 60g chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained)
- 2 cups 200g cooked Italian chicken sausage, crumbled
- 1½ cups 150g crumbled feta
- 2 tsp 4g dried basil
Instructions
Preheat and Prep
- I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or grease a muffin tin.
Mix Dough
- In a large bowl, I whisk 1¾ cups Greek yogurt and 4 eggs until smooth. I add 2½ cups flour, ¼ cup flaxseed, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp red pepper flakes (if using), 1 tbsp baking powder, and 2 tsp salt, stirring until just combined with a few lumps.
Add Mix-Ins
- For ham and cheese, I fold in 1½ cups spinach, ½ cup chives, 1 cup cheddar, and 2 cups ham. For Mediterranean, I fold in ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, 2 cups sausage, 1½ cups feta, and 2 tsp basil.
Scoop and Shape
- Using a ⅓-cup measure, I portion the dough into 12 mounds on the baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart, or fill muffin tin wells nearly to the top. I wet my hands to shape sticky dough.
Top and Bake
- I sprinkle reserved ½ cup cheddar (for ham variation) or extra feta (for Mediterranean) on top. I bake for 25 minutes until golden and firm, rotating the pan at 15 minutes for even browning.
Cool and Serve
- I let biscuits cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack or serve warm.
Notes
- Wet hands help shape sticky dough!
- Freeze cooled biscuits in a zip bag; reheat 45 secs in the microwave.
- Swap meats or cheeses to keep breakfast exciting
