Description

Hearty, protein-packed breakfast biscuits made with Greek yogurt, eggs, and your choice of savory mix-ins—perfect for meal prep and quick morning meals.


Ingredients

Base Biscuit

  • 1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 4 large eggs (room temp)
  • 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 chopped chives
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar (½ cup reserved)
  • 2 cups diced ham

OR

Mediterranean Sausage Add-Ins

  • 2 cups cooked Italian chicken sausage, crumbled
  • ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1½ cups feta cheese (½ cup reserved)
  • 2 tsp dried basil (or ¼ cup fresh added after baking)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, flaxseed, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth. Add to dry ingredients and mix until a thick dough forms.
  4. Fold in your chosen add-ins (Ham & Cheese or Mediterranean).
  5. Scoop dough into mounds on the baking sheet and top each with the reserved cheese.
  6. Bake 18–22 minutes or until golden and set.
  7. Cool slightly and serve warm or store for later.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix; it keeps the biscuits tender.
  • Squeeze spinach thoroughly to avoid soggy dough.
  • Add jalapeños or pepper jack for a spicy version.
  • Freeze baked biscuits for up to 2 months.
  • Use half whole-wheat flour for extra fiber.
