01 - 1 3/4 cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
02 - 4 large eggs, at room temperature
03 - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
04 - 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
05 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
06 - 2 teaspoons kosher salt
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

→ Ham & Cheese Chive Add-ins

09 - 1 1/2 cups spinach, wilted and squeezed dry
10 - 1/2 cup chives, finely chopped
11 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (1/2 cup reserved for topping)
12 - 2 cups cooked ham, diced

→ Mediterranean Sausage Add-ins

13 - 2 cups cooked Italian chicken sausage, crumbled
14 - 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
15 - 1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese (1/2 cup reserved for topping)
16 - 2 teaspoons dried basil or 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (fresh added after baking)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a standard muffin tin.
02 - Whisk Greek yogurt and eggs together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and blended.
03 - Stir in all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, kosher salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until just combined. Do not overmix.
04 - Gently fold in your choice of add-ins: either ham, chives, spinach, and cheddar, or sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta. For Mediterranean variation, reserve fresh basil to sprinkle after baking.
05 - Using a 1/3 cup measure, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet or divide among muffin wells.
06 - Sprinkle reserved cheddar or feta on each biscuit. Bake for 25 minutes or until biscuits are golden and set.
07 - Allow biscuits to cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing. Add fresh basil to Mediterranean biscuits after baking if using.

# Extra Information:

01 - Wet hands make shaping the sticky dough easier and cleaner.
02 - Once cooled, biscuits can be frozen in a sealed zip bag and reheated in the microwave for 45 seconds.
03 - Customize by substituting different meats, cheeses, or vegetables for varied flavors.
