The biscuit texture is soft and dense with visible flecks of cheese and herbs throughout.

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)
2 cups Diced Ham
OR
Mediterranean Sausage Add-ins:
2 cups Cooked Italian Chicken Sausage, crumbled
½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped
1½ cups Feta Cheese (½ cup reserved)
2 tsp Dried Basil (or ¼ cup fresh, added after baking)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Step 3: Add the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir gently until the dry ingredients are just combined with the wet base.
Step 4: Fold in your chosen add-ins: either the ham, spinach, chives, and cheddar cheese for a savory option, or the Italian chicken sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and dried basil for a Mediterranean twist.
Step 5: Using a ⅓ cup measuring scoop, portion the dough onto your prepared baking sheet or into muffin tin wells.
Step 6: Sprinkle the reserved cheese (cheddar or feta, depending on your mix-in) evenly over the tops of each biscuit.
Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 8: Allow the biscuits to cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing.

Tips & Variations

For extra moisture, add a tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter to the dough.
Try swapping the ham with cooked bacon or sausage for different flavor profiles.
If using fresh basil in the Mediterranean version, sprinkle it on after baking to preserve its brightness.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a side of fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.

Storage

Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or microwave for 20–30 seconds until heated through. They also freeze well for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

FAQs

Can I make these biscuits dairy-free?

Since the recipe relies on Greek yogurt and cheese for moisture and flavor, try substituting with a plant-based yogurt and vegan cheese, though the texture may be slightly different.

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose?

Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the biscuits might be a bit denser. Consider using a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose to keep a lighter texture.
