- Wet Ingredients: 1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt, 4 large eggs (room temperature).
- Dry Ingredients: 2½ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup ground flaxseed, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
- Ham & Cheese Biscuits: 1½ cups grated cheddar cheese (reserve ½ cup for topping), 2 cups diced ham, 1½ cups spinach (wilted and squeezed dry), ½ cup chopped chives.
- Mediterranean Sausage Biscuits: 1½ cups crumbled cooked turkey or chicken sausage, 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (reserve ⅓ cup for topping), 1½ cups spinach (wilted and squeezed dry), ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, ½ cup chopped chives or green onions.
Instructions
- Step 1
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin.
- Step 2
- In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
- Step 3
- Add flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir until just combined; do not overmix—some lumps are fine.
- Step 4
- Gently fold in your chosen mix-ins (Ham & Cheese or Mediterranean Sausage) using a spatula in cutting motions to keep the dough light.
- Step 5
- Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop, portion dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing biscuits 2 inches apart, or fill muffin tin wells nearly to the top.
- Step 6
- Sprinkle reserved cheese or feta on top of each biscuit.
- Step 7
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Step 8
- Cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To ensure your biscuits rise perfectly, always check that your baking powder is fresh. Using room temperature eggs helps them incorporate more smoothly into the yogurt. If the dough feels too sticky to handle, simply wet your hands with a little water to make shaping easier without the mess.

Varianten und Anpassungen
You can choose between two distinct flavor profiles: the savory Ham & Cheese variation or the zesty Mediterranean Sausage version. If you use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt, be sure to strain it first to thicken it or reduce the quantity slightly to prevent the dough from becoming too wet.
