Description
Tender, cheesy, protein-packed biscuits with Greek yogurt, eggs, cheddar, spinach, and ham. Freezer-friendly and perfect for meal prep breakfasts.
Ingredients
1¾ cups plain Greek yogurt (0%, 2%, or 5%)
4 eggs
2½ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat baking flour)
¼ cup ground flaxseed (or use ¼ cup more flour)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1.5 cups spinach, chopped (fresh or defrosted frozen)
½ cup chives, finely diced
1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
2 cups cooked ham, diced
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Whisk Greek yogurt and eggs in a bowl until smooth.
3. In a second bowl, mix flour, flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually stir dry mix into wet mix until a sticky dough forms.
5. Fold in spinach, chives, 1 cup cheddar, and ham. Mix with hands if needed.
6. Lightly flour hands. Portion about ⅓ cup dough each to form 12 round biscuits. Place on tray.
7. Top each biscuit with remaining cheddar.
8. Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven, reduce heat to 350°F and bake 20 minutes more.
9. Remove when bottoms are golden and tops lightly browned. Cool a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Use parchment or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
Lightly flour hands or use a cookie scoop for easy portioning.
Texture is denser and heartier than traditional butter biscuits due to lower fat.
Makes 12 biscuits. Store refrigerated up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months with parchment between layers.
Defrost overnight; reheat in toaster, air fryer, or microwave.
Customize with jalapeño & cheddar, sausage & cheese, red pepper & feta, or broccoli & cheese.
Gluten-free flour and dairy-free swaps can work, but results may vary.
Omit meat and use dairy-free yogurt/cheese to make it vegan. Naturally nut-free.
