Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

1 + 3/4 cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
4 eggs

Dry Ingredients

2 + 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tsp salt

Mix-ins

1.5 cups spinach, chopped (plus additional 1.5 cups spinach chopped)
1/2 cup chives, finely diced
1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
2 cups cooked ham, diced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cups Italian chicken sausage, cooked and removed from casing
1.5 cups feta cheese
2 tsp dried basil

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and eggs until fully combined and smooth, creating your wet base for the dough.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute all dry seasonings and rising agents.
Form Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing well to form a cohesive dough without lumps.
Add Mix-ins: Fold in the chopped spinach, chives, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, cooked ham, sun-dried tomatoes, chicken sausage, feta cheese, additional spinach, and dried basil. Use your hands if necessary to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated into the dough evenly.
Shape Biscuits: Lightly flour your hands to prevent sticking. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, shaping each into 1-inch thick round biscuits (about 1/3 cup of batter each). Arrange the biscuits spaced evenly on the prepared baking tray; use two trays if needed for ample spacing.
Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tops of each biscuit to create a cheesy crust as they bake.
Bake the Biscuits: Bake the biscuits at 400°F for 5 minutes to start rise and set the shape. Then reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes, without opening the oven door. The biscuits are done when the bottoms are golden brown and tops are just beginning to brown.

Notes

You can substitute the Italian chicken sausage with your preferred cooked sausage for different flavor profiles.
If you want a spicier biscuit, increase the red pepper flakes to taste.
Adding a bit more flour can help if your dough is too sticky to handle.
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
These biscuits are great for meal prep; reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
