Scale
Dairy & Eggs
- 1 3/4 cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 4 eggs
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
- 1.5 cups feta cheese
Flours & Baking
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
Spices & Herbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp dried basil
Vegetables
- 1.5 cups spinach, chopped
- 1.5 cups spinach, chopped (additional)
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup chives, finely diced
Proteins
- 2 cups cooked ham, diced
- 2 cups Italian chicken sausage, cooked and removed from casing
Other
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Tray: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.
- Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until the dough forms evenly without lumps.
- Add Mix-ins: Fold in the chopped spinach, chives, cheese (1 cup of cheddar), diced ham, cooked Italian sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, additional spinach, and dried basil. Use your hands if needed to fully incorporate all ingredients into the dough.
- Shape Biscuits: Lightly flour your hands and portion the dough into 12 even-sized biscuit rounds, each about 1 inch thick and approximately 1/3 cup of dough. Arrange them evenly spaced on the prepared baking tray(s). Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top of each biscuit.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the tray in the oven, bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Avoid opening the oven during the baking process. The biscuits are done when the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are starting to brown.
Notes
- These biscuits freeze well. Store in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or microwave.
- You can customize the meat or cheese to suit dietary preferences or availability.
- Use fresh spinach for best flavor, and ensure excess water is drained if pre-washed.
- Handle the dough gently to ensure biscuits remain tender.
- Pair with a side of eggs or fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.
