These Breakfast Protein Biscuits are a delicious and hearty way to start your day. Packed with protein-rich ingredients like Greek yogurt, eggs, cheddar cheese, and diced ham, they offer a perfect blend of savory flavors and a tender, fluffy texture. Enhanced with spinach, chives, and a touch of garlic and red pepper flakes for a little kick, these biscuits can be enjoyed fresh out of the oven for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

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)

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 1½ cups Spinach, wilted & squeezed dry
  • ½ cup Chives, chopped

Cheese & Protein

  • 1½ cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded (reserve ½ cup for topping)
  • 2 cups Diced Ham

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. This ensures the leavening agents and spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the Greek yogurt until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined, forming a sticky dough.
  5. Add Fillings: Fold in the wilted spinach, chopped chives, shredded cheddar cheese (except the reserved ½ cup), and diced ham. Mix to evenly distribute.
  6. Form Biscuits: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese on top of each biscuit for a golden, cheesy finish.
  7. Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until they have risen, turned golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure the spinach is well squeezed to remove excess moisture to prevent soggy biscuits.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with other cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
  • For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes or add finely chopped jalapeños.
  • The biscuits freeze well; store them in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or microwave.
  • Using room temperature eggs helps the batter come together more smoothly.
