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, added after baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your baking surface by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or greasing a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain 2% Greek yogurt and room temperature eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This forms the moist base of your biscuit dough.
  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 to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the biscuits.
  4. Fold in Mix-ins: Choose your preferred add-ins: either the ham & cheese chive mix or the Mediterranean sausage mix. Gently fold these ingredients into the dough until evenly distributed.
  5. Scoop Dough: Using a ⅓ cup measure, portion out the biscuit dough. Place the dough balls spaced evenly on your prepared baking sheet or fill each well of a muffin tin for uniform shape and size.
  6. Top and Bake: Sprinkle the reserved cheese (cheddar or feta, depending on your mix-ins) evenly over the tops of the biscuits. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown and feel firm to the touch.
  7. Cool: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving. This allows them to set for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Room temperature eggs help create a smoother batter and better rise.
  • Wilt and squeeze out excess moisture from spinach to prevent soggy biscuits.
  • For a fresher flavor with Mediterranean biscuits, stir in fresh basil after baking instead of dried basil during mixing.
  • These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze biscuits for longer storage and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
