Ingredients

Scale

Base Biscuit

  • 1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 4 eggs
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Ham, Cheese & Chive Variation

  • 1.5 cups spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup chives, finely diced
  • 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
  • 2 cups cooked ham, diced

Mediterranean Sausage Variation

  • ½ 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt thoroughly.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously to form a dough.
  5. Add Mix-Ins: Choose your variation – add the vegetables, herbs, cooked meat, and one cup of cheese to the dough. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated, using your hands if needed to fully combine the ingredients.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 even-sized round disks, approximately 1-inch thick and about ⅓ cup of batter each. Place the biscuits evenly spaced on the prepared baking tray. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of each biscuit.
  7. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes without opening the oven. The biscuits are done when the bottoms are golden brown and the tops just begin to brown.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • Flour your hands lightly before shaping the dough to prevent it from sticking.
  • Ensure the cooked meats are diced small and evenly distributed for the best texture and flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use vegan cheese.
  • Biscuits can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or toaster oven.
  • Feel free to customize the mix-ins based on your preferences and what you have available.
