Ingredients

Scale

Basic Dough 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, added after baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing a muffin tin, depending on your preferred shape for the biscuits.
  2. Mix Wet Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and room-temperature eggs until the mixture is smooth and combined thoroughly.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
  4. Fold in Mix-ins: Choose one add-in option: either the Ham & Cheese with spinach, chives, diced ham, and cheddar cheese; or the Mediterranean Sausage mix with cooked Italian chicken sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and dried basil. Fold these into the dough evenly.
  5. Scoop Dough: Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup, scoop dollops of the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet or muffin tin wells. Space them evenly to allow for rising.
  6. Top & Bake: Sprinkle the reserved cheese (cheddar or feta) over the top of each biscuit. Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes until the biscuits are golden on top and firm to the touch.
  7. Cool & Serve: Remove the baked biscuits from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. If using Mediterranean seasoning with fresh basil, sprinkle it on after baking. Serve warm or store for later consumption.

Notes

  • Room temperature eggs help the dough mix more easily and create better texture.
  • If you prefer spicier biscuits, increase the red pepper flakes to taste.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking flour blend of equal measurement.
  • Wilt spinach thoroughly and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent soggy biscuits.
  • Fresh basil adds a bright flavor to Mediterranean-style biscuits; add after baking to preserve freshness.
  • Biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
