Ingredients
Base Biscuit Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 4 eggs
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon salt
Ham, Cheese & Chive Variation
- 1.5 cups spinach, chopped
- ½ cup chives, finely diced
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
- 2 cups cooked ham, diced
Mediterranean Sausage Variation
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups Italian chicken sausage cooked, removed from casing
- 1.5 cups feta cheese
- 1.5 cups spinach, chopped
- 2 teaspoon dried basil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients while mixing thoroughly to form the dough.
- Add Mix-ins: Incorporate your chosen vegetables, herbs, cooked meats, and 1 cup of the cheese. Mix well, using your hands if necessary to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Shape Biscuits: Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each into approximately 1-inch thick round discs, about ⅓ cup of batter each. Arrange them on the prepared baking tray, spacing evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes without opening the oven. Biscuits are done when the bottoms are golden brown and tops are just starting to brown.
Notes
- These biscuits are denser than traditional flaky biscuits due to the absence of butter and fat, making them heartier and more filling.
- Ground flaxseed can be replaced with an additional ¼ cup of flour, though this will reduce the protein content.
- If substituting meats, ensure they are fully cooked before adding to the batter.
- Nutrition information is an estimate based on the original Ham, Cheese & Chive variation.
