# Ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
2½ cups all-purpose flour
02 -
¼ cup ground flaxseed
03 -
1 tablespoon baking powder
04 -
2 teaspoons salt
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
→ Wet Ingredients
07 -
1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
08 -
4 fresh eggs
→ Mix-ins
09 -
2 cups diced cooked ham
10 -
1½ cups fresh spinach, chopped
11 -
½ cup fresh chives, finely diced
12 -
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided (1 cup for mixing, ½ cup for topping)
# Instructions:
01 -
Fire up your oven to 400°F and line your baking tray with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
02 -
In one bowl, whisk together your Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth. In another bowl, mix up all your dry ingredients - the flour, flaxseed, garlic powder, those spicy red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.
03 -
Gradually add your dry mix into the yogurt mixture, stirring well. Then fold in your spinach, chives, 1 cup of cheese, and that tasty ham. Don't be shy about using your hands to mix it all together properly!
04 -
Dust your hands with a bit of flour, then divide your dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each into a 1-inch thick round disk and place them on your baking tray, leaving some space between each. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of each biscuit.
05 -
Start at 400°F for 5 minutes, then drop the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 20 minutes - and no peeking! They're done when the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are just starting to get some color.
# Notes:
01 -
These are heartier than your typical flaky biscuits - perfect for a filling breakfast on busy mornings
02 -
You can swap the flaxseed for an extra 1/4 cup flour, but it will change the protein content
03 -
Make sure any meat substitutions are fully cooked before adding to the batter
