Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt
  • 4 Large Eggs, room temperature

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)

Mix-ins

  • 1½ cups Spinach, wilted & squeezed dry
  • ½ cup Chives, chopped
  • 1½ cups Cheddar Cheese (reserve ½ cup for topping)
  • 2 cups Diced Ham

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and room temperature eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix just until combined; it’s okay if there are some lumps as overmixing can affect the texture.
  4. Fold in mix-ins: Gently fold in the wilted and squeezed dry spinach, chopped chives, cheddar cheese, and diced ham using a spatula in cutting motions to keep the dough light and airy.
  5. Shape the biscuits: Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop to portion the dough. Place each biscuit on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart, or fill muffin wells nearly to the top if using a muffin tin.
  6. Add topping: Sprinkle the reserved ½ cup of cheddar cheese over the top of each biscuit for an extra cheesy crust.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to gentle pressing.
  8. Cool: Let the biscuits cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing to allow the texture to set properly.

Notes

  • Use thick Greek yogurt for the proper dough consistency; if using regular yogurt, strain it first or reduce the amount to avoid excess moisture.
  • Wet your hands when shaping the dough to prevent sticking and mess.
  • Wilt and squeeze the spinach dry to prevent soggy biscuits.
  • Check that your baking powder is fresh to ensure the biscuits rise well.
  • Use room temperature eggs for smoother blending into the batter.
