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 for a subtle kick)

Ham & Cheese Chive Add-ins

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

Ingredient Fun Fact: Greek yogurt isn’t just creamy and tangy—it also adds protein and moisture to baked goods, creating biscuits that are tender and rich. Flaxseed adds fiber, healthy fats, and an extra protein boost.

Serving Size: Yields 12–16 biscuits depending on size.

Tools & Equipment Needed

• Large mixing bowl
• Medium bowl for add-ins
• Whisk
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Oven

Pro Tip: Using room-temperature eggs helps create a more uniform batter and better rise during baking.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps for perfectly fluffy, protein-packed breakfast biscuits.

Step 1: Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
2. Whisk to evenly distribute the leavening and seasonings.

Tip Box: Evenly distributing baking powder ensures a consistent rise for each biscuit.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and creamy.

Sensory Cue: The yogurt and eggs create a thick, luscious batter that smells lightly tangy and savory.

Step 4: Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients

1. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
2. Stir gently until a sticky dough forms. Do not overmix; overworking can make biscuits dense.

Step 5: Fold in Add-Ins

Ham & Cheese Chive Version:

• Fold in diced ham, cheddar cheese (reserve ½ cup for topping), spinach, and chives.

Mediterranean Sausage Version:

• Fold in crumbled sausage, feta cheese (reserve ½ cup for topping), sun-dried tomatoes, and dried basil.

Step 6: Shape Biscuits

1. Using a spoon or biscuit cutter, portion dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit.
2. Sprinkle reserved cheese on top of each biscuit.

Step 7: Bake the Biscuits

1. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
2. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Sensory Cue: Your kitchen fills with the aroma of baked cheese, herbs, and warm baked dough—a cozy, irresistible scent.

Step 8: Serve & Enjoy

1. Serve warm as is, or with a side of scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, or avocado.
2. Optional: drizzle with a little olive oil for Mediterranean versions or spread butter for classic versions.
