Breakfast Protein Packed Biscuits (Printable Version)

Fluffy breakfast biscuits rich in protein with savory ham & cheese or Mediterranean sausage options.

# What You'll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
02 - 4 large eggs, room temperature

→ Dry Ingredients

03 - 2½ cups all-purpose flour
04 - ¼ cup ground flaxseed
05 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
06 - 2 teaspoons salt
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional

→ Ham & Cheese Variation

09 - 1½ cups cheddar cheese, grated
10 - 2 cups diced ham
11 - 1½ cups spinach, wilted and squeezed dry
12 - ½ cup fresh chives, chopped
13 - ½ cup reserved cheddar cheese for topping

→ Mediterranean Sausage Variation

14 - 1½ cups crumbled cooked turkey or chicken sausage
15 - 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
16 - 1½ cups spinach, wilted and squeezed dry
17 - ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
18 - ½ cup fresh chives or green onions, chopped
19 - ⅓ cup reserved feta cheese for topping

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until the mixture achieves a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
03 - Add flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; some lumps should remain to ensure tender biscuits.
04 - Using a spatula with cutting motions, gently fold your chosen mix-ins—either ham, cheese, spinach, and chives, or sausage, feta, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and chives—into the dough without overworking it.
05 - Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop, divide dough onto prepared baking sheet with 2 inches between each biscuit, or fill muffin tin wells nearly to capacity.
06 - Sprinkle reserved cheddar cheese or feta cheese evenly over the top of each biscuit.
07 - Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown in color and firm when gently touched.
08 - Allow biscuits to cool for 10 minutes before serving or transferring to storage containers.

02 -
  • Thoroughly squeeze excess moisture from wilted spinach to prevent soggy biscuits
  • Room temperature eggs incorporate much more smoothly with yogurt
  • Test your baking powder's freshness by adding a teaspoon to hot water—it should bubble vigorously
  • For meal prep, freeze cooled biscuits individually wrapped for up to 2 months
  • Reheat frozen biscuits at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes without thawing
  • If using regular yogurt instead of Greek, strain it first or reduce the amount to avoid wet dough
