Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs.
  • In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine flour, ground flax seed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing well.
  • Add mix-ins including vegetables, herbs, and cooked meat along with 1 cup of the cheese and the ham. Mix until fully combined.
  • Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 even-sized 1-inch thick round disk biscuits. Arrangement is on the prepared baking tray.
  • Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 400F for 5 minutes, decrease the temperature to 350F and bake for an additional 20 minutes without opening the oven.
  • Once the bottom of the biscuits are golden brown and the tops are just beginning to brown, your biscuits are done!

Notes

These are denser biscuits than traditional flaky ones. Perfect for a hearty breakfast! Ground flaxseed can be replaced with an additional ¼ cup of flour, altering the protein content.
