Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1¾ cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt
- 4 Large Eggs, room temperature
- 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 (½ cup reserved for topping)
- 2 cups Diced Ham
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and room temperature eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes to the yogurt and egg mixture. Stir gently until the ingredients are just combined; lumps in the dough are okay to keep it light and airy.
- Fold in Mix-ins: Carefully fold in the wilted spinach, chopped chives, diced ham, and cheddar cheese using a spatula with gentle cutting motions to maintain the dough’s fluffiness.
- Portion Dough: Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup or an ice cream scoop to portion out the biscuit dough. Place each portion onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart or fill the muffin tin wells nearly to the top.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the reserved ½ cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the tops of the biscuits for a golden, cheesy crust.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before serving or storing to ensure they set properly.
Notes
- Use thick Greek yogurt to achieve the best texture; if using regular yogurt, strain it beforehand or reduce the amount used.
- Wet your hands slightly to shape the sticky dough easily without mess.
- Wilt and thoroughly squeeze out excess moisture from spinach to prevent soggy biscuits.
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh to ensure the biscuits rise properly.
- Using room temperature eggs helps create a smoother batter.
