Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 + ¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 4 eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 + ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Fillings

  • 1.5 cups spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup chives, finely diced
  • 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
  • 2 cups cooked ham, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt evenly.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly to create a smooth batter without lumps.
  5. Add Fillings: Fold in the chopped spinach, diced chives, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and diced cooked ham. Use your hands if necessary to incorporate everything evenly without overmixing.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Lightly flour your hands, then divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each into a 1-inch thick round disk, approximately ⅓ cup per biscuit.
  7. Arrange and Top: Place the biscuits evenly spaced on the prepared baking tray(s) to ensure even baking. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese on top of each biscuit.
  8. Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes without opening the oven. The biscuits are done when the bottoms are golden brown and the tops start to brown.

Notes

  • You can substitute ham with cooked bacon or turkey for variation.
  • Make sure not to open the oven during baking to maintain consistent temperature and ensure even cooking.
  • For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes slightly.
  • Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
  • These biscuits freeze well; wrap individually for easy future breakfasts.
