Ingredients

Scale

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)

Ham & Cheese Chive Add-ins

  • 1½ cups Spinach, wilted & squeezed dry
  • ½ cup Chives, chopped
  • 1½ cups Cheddar Cheese (½ cup reserved for topping)
  • 2 cups Diced Ham

Mediterranean Sausage Add-ins

  • 2 cups Cooked Italian Chicken Sausage, crumbled
  • ½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped
  • 1½ cups Feta Cheese (½ cup reserved for topping)
  • 2 tsp Dried Basil (or ¼ cup fresh, added after baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and either line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain 2% Greek yogurt and room temperature eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix the dough.
  4. Incorporate Mix-ins: Fold in your choice of add-ins thoroughly—either the ham & cheese chive combination with spinach, chives, cheddar, and diced ham, or the Mediterranean sausage mix with cooked Italian chicken sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and dried basil.
  5. Scoop Dough: Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to scoop the dough and place evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet or fill muffin tin wells.
  6. Top & Bake: Sprinkle the reserved cheese or feta on top of each biscuit. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown and are firm to the touch.
  7. Cool & Serve: Let the biscuits cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving or storing. If using fresh basil in the Mediterranean version, sprinkle it on top after baking for added freshness.

Notes

  • If you prefer gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Room temperature eggs help create a smoother batter and better rise in biscuits.
  • Flaxseed adds fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, boosting the nutritional profile.
  • You can freeze these biscuits after cooling; reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
  • Adjust spices like red pepper flakes to taste or omit for a milder flavor.
  • Fresh basil is best added after baking for optimal flavor in the Mediterranean version.
