How to make Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 1¾ cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt
• 4 Large Eggs (room temp)
• 2½ cups All-Purpose Flour
• ¼ cup Ground Flaxseed
• 1 tbsp Baking Powder
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• ½ tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
• 1½ cups Spinach, wilted & squeezed dry
• ½ cup Chives, chopped
• 1½ cups Cheddar Cheese (½ cup reserved)
• 2 cups Diced Ham
• 2 cups Cooked Italian Chicken Sausage, crumbled
• ½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped
• 1½ cups Feta (½ cup reserved)
• 2 tsp Dried Basil (or ¼ cup fresh, added after baking)

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). You can line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin.
2. Mix Wet Base: In a large bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt and eggs together until the mixture is smooth.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Then, add the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
4. Fold in Mix-Ins: Now, fold in your choice of mix-ins like ham and cheese or Mediterranean ingredients until distributed evenly.
5. Scoop Dough: Use about ⅓ cup of the dough for each biscuit. Place them on the prepared baking sheet or fill the muffin wells of your tin.
6. Top & Bake: Sprinkle the reserved cheese or feta on top of each biscuit. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until they turn golden and firm to the touch.
7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, let them cool for about 10 minutes before serving or storing them.
