• 1 +¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
• 4 eggs
• 2 + ½ cups all purpose flour
• ¼ cup ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoon salt

Ham, Cheese & Chive (the original variation)

• 1.5 cups spinach chopped
• ½ cup chives finely diced
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese shredded, divided
• 2 cups cooked ham diced

Mediterranean Sausage variation

• ½ cup sun dried tomatoes chopped
• 2 cups Italian chicken sausage cooked (removed from casing)
• 1.5 cup feta cheese
• 1.5 cups spinach chopped
• 2 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven 400F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. 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.
3. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing well.
4. Add mix-ins including vegetables, herbs and cooked meat along with 1 cup of the cheese and the ham. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined (you may need to use your hands to ensure everything is fully incorporated.)
5. Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 even-sized 1-inch thick round disk shaped biscuits (about ⅓ cup of batter in each). Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking tray (please note depending on the size of your tray you may need to use 2 trays to ensure the biscuits are evenly spaced). Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheese.
6. Bake at 400F for 5 minutes, decrease the temperature to 350F and bake for an additional 20 minutes (do not open the oven in between). Once the bottom of the biscuits are golden brown and the tops are just beginning to brown, your biscuits are done!
