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 basil, 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 mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and room temperature eggs until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  4. Fold in mix-ins: Choose your preferred add-in option and fold the ingredients carefully into the dough. For Ham & Cheese, add spinach, chives, cheddar cheese, and diced ham. For Mediterranean, incorporate the cooked Italian chicken sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and dried basil.
  5. Scoop dough: Use a ⅓ cup measuring scoop to portion out the dough evenly. Place the dough rounds on your prepared baking sheet or fill each muffin cup if using a tin.
  6. Top & bake: Sprinkle the reserved cheddar or feta cheese on top of each biscuit. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and are firm to the touch.
  7. Cool & serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for at least 10 minutes before serving or storing to allow them to set properly.

Notes

  • Room temperature eggs help create a smoother dough and better rise.
  • Wilt and squeeze spinach thoroughly to avoid excess moisture that can make biscuits soggy.
  • You can customize the add-ins based on your preference or what you have on hand.
  • If using fresh basil in the Mediterranean version, add it after baking for a fresher flavor.
  • These biscuits freeze well; thaw and reheat in the oven for best texture.
