Ingredients

Scale

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 and squeezed dry
½ cup Chives, chopped
1½ cups Cheddar Cheese (reserve ½ cup 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 (reserve ½ cup for topping)
2 tsp Dried Basil (or ¼ cup fresh basil added after baking)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your baking surface by either lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or greasing a muffin tin.
Mix Wet Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and room temperature eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix just until all dry ingredients are incorporated—avoid overmixing for tender biscuits.
Fold in Mix-ins: Choose your preferred add-in option. Gently fold in either the Ham & Cheese Chive ingredients (spinach, chives, cheddar cheese, diced ham) or the Mediterranean Sausage ingredients (Italian chicken sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese) until evenly distributed.
Scoop Dough: Using a ⅓ cup measuring scoop, portion the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet or into the muffin tin wells, spacing evenly.
Top and Bake: Sprinkle the reserved cheese (cheddar or feta) over each biscuit. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing. If using fresh basil with the Mediterranean option, sprinkle it over the biscuits now for garnish.

Notes

You can omit the red pepper flakes if you prefer a milder flavor.
Make sure the spinach is well drained to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
These biscuits freeze well; store in an airtight container and reheat for a quick meal.
For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with a thick plant-based yogurt and cheese with vegan alternatives.
Adjust seasoning to taste, especially the salt depending on the saltiness of your ham or sausage.
