Description
Savory, cheesy, protein-rich breakfast biscuits in two delicious variations—Ham & Cheese Chive or Mediterranean Sausage—perfect for meal prep, freezer storage, and powering through busy mornings.
Ingredients
1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
4 large eggs (room temperature)
2½ cups all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend + xanthan gum)
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 wilted, squeezed-dry spinach
½ cup chopped chives
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (½ cup reserved)
- 2 cups diced ham
- Mediterranean Sausage Add-ins:
- 2 cups cooked Italian chicken sausage, crumbled
- ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1½ cups crumbled feta cheese (½ cup reserved)
- 2 tsp dried basil (or ¼ cup fresh basil after baking)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or grease a muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
- Stir in flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes—mix just until combined (lumps are okay).
- Gently fold in chosen mix-ins—either Ham & Cheese Chive or Mediterranean Sausage ingredients.
- Use a ⅓-cup scoop to form 12 biscuits. Place on baking sheet (2 inches apart) or in muffin cups.
- Top each with reserved cheese (cheddar or feta).
- Bake for 25 minutes, rotating halfway if needed, until golden and firm.
- Cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
Do not overmix to keep biscuits light and fluffy—leave some lumps.
Drain all mix-ins thoroughly to prevent soggy dough.
Try flavor twists like Southwest Fiesta, Veggie Lover’s, Pizza Party, Keto-friendly, or Thanksgiving Leftovers.
Reheat from frozen by wrapping in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 45 seconds or baking at 350°F for 10 minutes.
Freeze dough scoops raw and bake directly from frozen—add 5–8 minutes.
