Description

Savory, high-protein breakfast biscuits made with Greek yogurt, eggs, and customizable mix-ins. Ideal for meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale

1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt

4 eggs

2½ cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup ground flaxseed (or substitute flour)

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp red pepper flakes

1 tbsp baking powder

2 tsp salt

1.5 cups chopped spinach

½ cup finely diced chives

1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup in dough, 0.5 cup for topping)

2 cups cooked diced ham


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. In one bowl, whisk Greek yogurt and eggs.

3. In another bowl, combine flour, flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.

4. Slowly add dry mixture to wet, mixing until a thick dough forms.

5. Add spinach, chives, 1 cup cheese, and ham. Mix until fully combined.

6. Flour your hands and shape into 12 round biscuits (about ⅓ cup each). Place on tray and top with remaining cheese.

7. Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce to 350°F and bake for another 20 minutes.
