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

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
  3. Stir in flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes—mix just until combined (lumps are okay).
  4. Gently fold in chosen mix-ins—either Ham & Cheese Chive or Mediterranean Sausage ingredients.
  5. Use a ⅓-cup scoop to form 12 biscuits. Place on baking sheet (2 inches apart) or in muffin cups.
  6. Top each with reserved cheese (cheddar or feta).
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, rotating halfway if needed, until golden and firm.
  8. 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.
