7. Step 7: Bake for 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
8. Step 8: Allow biscuits to cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing.
9. Step 9 (optional): If using fresh basil with the Mediterranean version, sprinkle it on after baking.

Tips & Variations

• For a dairy-free alternative, substitute Greek yogurt with a non-dairy yogurt, but note the texture may vary.
• Wilt and squeeze spinach very well to avoid soggy biscuits.
• Feel free to mix and match add-ins like different cheeses, cooked bacon, or herbs to suit your taste.
• Use parchment paper on your baking sheet for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

Storage

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–10 minutes or microwave for about 30 seconds until warm. These biscuits also freeze well; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these biscuits vegan?

This recipe relies on eggs, Greek yogurt, and cheese for structure and flavor, so it isn’t easily made vegan without significant ingredient swaps that change the texture and taste.

How can I tell when the biscuits are done?

The biscuits should be golden brown on top and firm to the touch. You can insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, they’re ready.

Base Ingredients

• 1¾ cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt
• 4 Large Eggs (room temperature)
• 2½ cups All-Purpose Flour
• 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 Spinach, wilted & squeezed dry
• ½ cup Chives, chopped
• 1½ cups Cheddar Cheese (½ cup reserved for topping)
• 2 cups Diced Ham

Mediterranean Sausage Add-ins

• 2 cups Cooked Italian Chicken Sausage, crumbled
• ½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped
• 1½ cups Feta Cheese (½ cup reserved for topping)
• 2 tsp Dried Basil (or ¼ cup fresh, to be added after baking)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly grease a muffin tin if you prefer individual portions.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain 2% Greek yogurt and the four room-temperature eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and keep the biscuits tender.
4. Incorporate Mix-ins: Choose your preferred add-ins: either the ham and cheese chive combination or the Mediterranean sausage mix. Carefully fold in the spinach, chives, cheddar cheese, and diced ham OR the crumbled Italian chicken sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta cheese into the dough.
5. Scoop Dough: Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup, scoop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet or into the greased muffin tin wells, spacing them evenly.
6. Top and Bake: Sprinkle the reserved ½ cup of cheddar cheese or feta cheese on top of each biscuit. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and feel firm to the touch.
7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving. If using dried basil for the Mediterranean version, sprinkle it fresh on top after baking.

Notes

• You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option, but the texture will be slightly denser.
• For a vegetarian option, omit the ham or sausage and add extra cheese and vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers.
• Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
• Reheat biscuits in the oven or toaster oven for best texture, rather than the microwave.
• The red pepper flakes add a slight spicy kick but can be omitted or adjusted to taste for milder biscuits.
