Delicious and protein-rich biscuits perfect for breakfast, packed with nutritious ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 and 1/2 cups fresh spinach, wilted and squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup chives, chopped
  • 1 and 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1/2 cup)
  • 2 cups diced ham
  • 2 cups cooked Italian chicken sausage, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 and 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese (reserve 1/2 cup)
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil or 1/4 cup fresh basil (if using fresh, add after baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
  3. Add all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes to the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in your choice of add-in ingredients: either ham, cheese, chives, and spinach or crumbled sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and basil.
  5. Scoop approximately 1/3 cup dough per biscuit onto the prepared sheet or fill muffin tin wells.
  6. Sprinkle reserved cheese or feta over the tops. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and set.
  7. Allow biscuits to cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and sausage.
