Introduction

These Breakfast Protein Biscuits are a flavorful and hearty way to start your day. Packed with protein and tasty add-ins, they’re perfect for a quick breakfast or a satisfying snack. Whether you prefer a ham and cheese mix or a Mediterranean sausage twist, these biscuits deliver deliciousness in every bite.

Six golden-brown cheese biscuits sit on a dark baking tray placed on a white marbled surface. Each biscuit is round with a slightly rough texture and small bits of melted cheddar cheese and chopped green herbs visible on the tops and sides. The biscuits have a mix of creamy white dough with scattered pieces of crispy bacon adding small red spots. One biscuit is stacked slightly on top of another near the center, showing its soft, fluffy interior. A few green herb pieces are scattered around the tray, adding freshness to the scene.

Ingredients

1¾ cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt
4 Large Eggs (room temp)
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)
2 cups Diced Ham

Mediterranean Sausage Add-ins:

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

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the 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 the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Add the flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 4: Fold in your choice of add-ins: either the ham & cheese chive mix or the Mediterranean sausage mix.
Step 5: Scoop about ⅓ cup of dough for each biscuit and place them on the prepared baking sheet or fill the muffin tin wells evenly.
Step 6: Sprinkle the reserved cheese or feta on top of each biscuit.
Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 8: Allow the biscuits to cool for about 10 minutes before serving or storing.

Tips & Variations

For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and add extra cheese and vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
Make sure the spinach is well squeezed to avoid excess moisture that can make the dough too wet.
Use fresh herbs like basil or chives after baking for a bright, fresh flavor.
Substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt to make the recipe dairy-free, but be aware this may affect texture.

Storage

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds until heated through. These biscuits can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
