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 and Toppings

  • 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 your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix the flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the seasonings and leavening agents.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth batter.
  5. Add Fillings: Fold in the chopped spinach, diced chives, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and diced ham. Use your hands if necessary to evenly incorporate all ingredients without overmixing.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Lightly flour your hands, then divide the dough into 12 even portions, shaping each into a 1-inch thick round disk (about ⅓ cup of batter per biscuit).
  7. Arrange and Top: Place the biscuits evenly spaced on the prepared baking tray(s) to ensure proper baking. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tops of the biscuits.
  8. Bake Biscuits: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Avoid opening the oven during this time to maintain consistent heat. The biscuits are done when the bottoms turn golden brown and the tops begin to brown lightly.

Notes

  • Do not open the oven door during baking to maintain temperature stability for even cooking.
  • If your baking tray is small, use two trays to ensure biscuits are properly spaced and bake evenly.
  • Lightly flouring your hands will help prevent the dough from sticking while shaping the biscuits.
  • You can substitute ham with cooked bacon or sausage for a different flavor profile.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
