Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 4 eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Fillings

  • 1.5 cups spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup chives, finely diced
  • 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
  • 2 cups cooked ham, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. A well-preheated oven promotes even cooking and baking.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and fully combined, ensuring a consistent base for the dough.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute seasonings and leavening agents.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing to avoid lumps and create a smooth batter.
  5. Add Fillings: Incorporate chopped spinach, diced chives, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and diced ham into the batter. Use hands if necessary to evenly distribute without overmixing.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 equal portions, shaping each into 1-inch thick round discs (approximately ⅓ cup per biscuit).
  7. Arrange and Top: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking tray(s), ensuring they are spaced evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each biscuit.
  8. Bake: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 20 more minutes without opening the oven door. The biscuits are done when the bottoms are golden brown and tops start to brown.

Notes

  • Using parchment paper prevents sticking and simplifies cleaning.
  • Do not open the oven during baking to maintain consistent temperature and bake evenly.
  • Lightly flouring hands prevents dough from sticking when shaping biscuits.
  • For best results, ensure even spacing on baking trays to allow proper heat circulation.
  • You can substitute ham for cooked bacon or sausage if preferred.
  • Spinach can be swapped with kale or other leafy greens for variation.
