I whipped these up after realizing we needed a real breakfast that was not just bars or cereal. Now they disappear so fast on the weekends I make double batches just to keep up

Gather Your Ingredients

• Greek yogurt: Plain two percent Greek yogurt gives the dough a moist and tangy richness while boosting protein look for thick brands without too much whey
• Eggs: Large eggs bind everything and provide extra staying power use room temperature eggs for fluffier biscuits
• All purpose flour: All purpose flour brings structure and keeps the texture tender sift if you want that cloudlike crumb
• Ground flaxseed: Ground flaxseed quietly adds fiber and heartiness choose freshly ground for best nutrition
• Baking powder: Baking powder gives lift and helps the biscuits bake up tall use aluminum free for no bitter taste
• Salt: Salt is essential for highlighting the other flavors fine sea salt works best
• Garlic powder: Garlic powder offers gentle savoriness
• Red pepper flakes: Red pepper flakes bring just a gentle kick use if you love a bit of morning spice
• Ham and cheese chive add-ins: Diced ham for saltiness fresh or frozen spinach for veggie boost chives for herby depth cheddar for gooey goodness
• Mediterranean sausage add-ins: Swap in chicken sausage for a lighter bite sun dried tomatoes for tangy sweetness feta for creamy texture dried basil for an herb swirl

How to Make It

Preheat and prepare:

Begin by heating your oven to three hundred seventy five degrees Fahrenheit or one hundred ninety degrees Celsius Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment or grease a muffin tin if you prefer biscuit muffins This step ensures even baking and easy cleanup

Mix wet base:

Whisk the Greek yogurt and eggs together in a large bowl Stir slowly until completely smooth and free of lumps This creamy base is key for rich and fluffy biscuits

Add dry ingredients:

Gently add the flour ground flaxseed baking powder salt garlic powder and red pepper flakes to the wet base Fold with a spatula just until no dry streaks remain Overmixing can create dense biscuits so stop as soon as it all comes together

Fold in the mix-ins:

Choose your flavor route If going ham and cheese add in spinach chives cheddar and diced ham If using Mediterranean add sausage sun dried tomato feta and basil Mix only enough to evenly distribute fillings to prevent tough biscuits

Scoop the dough:

The dough will be sticky Use a third cup measuring tool to portion the dough onto the sheet or into muffin tins If dough sticks to your hands dampen them slightly for easier shaping

Top and bake:

Sprinkle reserved cheese or feta over each biscuit for a melty cap Bake for twenty five minutes until tops are golden and the biscuits feel firm yet springy when you press them lightly

Cool before serving:

Let biscuits rest for at least ten minutes on the pan This finishing touch helps the crumb set and keeps add-ins from spilling out

I always look forward to wilted spinach adding that bright green pop and a subtle earthiness I once doubled the cheese thinking more is better and it turned out so indulgent it felt like a celebration The kids still talk about it as the ultimate weekend treat

Flavor Boosters

No ham Use cooked turkey bacon or chopped smoked turkey No Greek yogurt Regular plain yogurt works but strain off excess liquid to keep dough thick Want gluten free Use a quality cup for cup gluten free flour blend and check that baking powder is gluten free Avoiding dairy Try plant based yogurt and a favorite dairy free cheese

Serving Suggestions

Creative Twists

Ham and cheese biscuits are a classic Southern US breakfast but this version modernizes with extra fiber and protein The Mediterranean twist draws on flavors of Greece and Italy Use whatever is seasonal such as roasted peppers in summer or extra spinach in spring

Do not skip reserving some cheese or feta for the tops it gives that golden crust wrapping up each biscuit These little extras really turn breakfast into something special
