How To Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 1¾ cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt
• 4 Large Eggs (room temp)
• 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)
• 1½ cups Spinach, wilted & squeezed dry
• ½ cup Chives, chopped
• 1½ cups Cheddar Cheese (½ cup reserved)
• 2 cups Diced Ham
• 2 cups Cooked Italian Chicken Sausage, crumbled
• ½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped
• 1½ cups Feta (½ cup reserved)
• 2 tsp Dried Basil (or ¼ cup fresh, added after baking)

3-Step Directions:

1. Preheat & Mix Dough: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet or grease a muffin tin. In a large bowl, whisk yogurt and eggs until smooth. Stir in the flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until just combined.
2. Add Mix-Ins & Shape: Fold in your chosen ingredients — either ham and cheese or Mediterranean mix-ins like spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and basil. Scoop about ⅓ cup of dough for each biscuit onto the baking sheet (or into muffin wells). Sprinkle a little reserved cheese or feta on top.
3. Bake & Cool: Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and firm. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or store for later use as a quick savory snack.
