Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 + 3/4 cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 4 eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 + 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp salt

Mix-ins

  • 1.5 cups spinach (chopped)
  • 1.5 cups spinach (chopped) (additional)
  • 1/2 cup chives (finely diced)
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 1.5 cups cheddar cheese (shredded, divided)
  • 1.5 cups feta cheese
  • 2 cups cooked ham (diced)
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 2 cups Italian chicken sausage (cooked, removed from casing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt for the dry base.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients bowl, stirring well to form a cohesive dough.
  5. Add Mix-ins: Incorporate the chopped spinach, chives, dried basil, one cup of shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, cooked Italian chicken sausage, sun dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese into the dough. Use your hands if needed to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 1-inch thick round biscuit, approximately 1/3 cup of dough each. Place the biscuits spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet(s).
  7. Add Topping Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the tops of the biscuits to create a cheesy crust during baking.
  8. Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F for 5 minutes to start, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes. Avoid opening the oven during this process to ensure even cooking.
  9. Check Doneness: Your biscuits are done when the bottoms turn golden brown and the tops begin to brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure all meats are fully cooked before adding to the batter.
  • You can customize the mix-ins by swapping meats or cheeses according to preference.
  • If you prefer a spicier biscuit, increase the red pepper flakes slightly.
  • These biscuits freeze well; store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best texture retention.
