These Breakfast Protein Biscuits are a savory, hearty option packed with protein from Greek yogurt, eggs, cheddar cheese, and diced ham. Enhanced with spinach, chives, and seasoning, these biscuits are perfect for a nutritious breakfast or brunch to fuel your day.

Ingredients

Dairy & Eggs

  • 1¾ cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt
  • 4 Large Eggs, room temperature
  • 1½ cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded (reserve ½ cup for topping)

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 & Meats

  • 1½ cups Spinach, wilted and squeezed dry
  • ½ cup Chives, chopped
  • 2 cups Diced Ham

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and well combined.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes for an even distribution of spices.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Add the dry ingredients to the wet yogurt and eggs mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and tough biscuits.
  5. Add spinach, chives, cheese, and ham: Fold in the wilted spinach, chopped chives, shredded cheddar cheese (reserve ½ cup for topping), and diced ham evenly into the biscuit dough.
  6. Shape biscuits: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out the dough and form 12 evenly sized biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet with some space between each.
  7. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the reserved ½ cup of cheddar cheese over the tops of the biscuits for a golden, cheesy crust.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the biscuits are risen, golden brown, and cooked through. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  9. Cool and serve: Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier bite, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from spinach to prevent soggy biscuits.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for a more pronounced flavor.
  • These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and ensure baking powder is gluten-free.
