Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 + 3/4 cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 4 eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 + ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt

Mix-ins

  • 1.5 cups spinach (chopped)
  • ½ cup chives (finely diced)
  • 1.5 cups cheddar cheese (shredded, divided)
  • 2 cups cooked ham (diced)
  • ½ cup sun dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 2 cups Italian chicken sausage (cooked, removed from casing)
  • 1.5 cups feta cheese
  • 1.5 cups spinach (chopped)
  • 2 tsp dried basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and well combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt, stirring to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet yogurt and egg mixture, mixing well to form a consistent dough without lumps.
  5. Add Mix-ins: Incorporate the chopped spinach, finely diced chives, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, sun-dried tomatoes, cooked Italian chicken sausage, feta cheese, additional spinach, and dried basil into the dough. Mix thoroughly, using your hands if necessary to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 equal portions, shaping each into a 1-inch thick round biscuit. Place the biscuits evenly spaced on the prepared baking tray(s). Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake at 400°F for 5 minutes to start the rising process. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to maintain temperature. The biscuits are done when the bottoms are golden brown and the tops begin to brown slightly.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure all cooked meats and vegetables are well drained to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
  • You can substitute Italian chicken sausage with turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage if preferred.
  • These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • Additional herbs like parsley or thyme can be added for extra flavor.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your spice tolerance.
