Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This prevents the biscuits from sticking and makes cleanup easier. A preheated oven ensures even cooking and prevents uneven baking.

  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs. Whisking ensures the ingredients are well combined and creates a smooth base.

  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt. Mixing the dry ingredients separately ensures even distribution of flavors and leavening agents, preventing pockets of salt or baking powder.

  • Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing well. Mixing slowly prevents the flour from creating lumps and ensures a smooth batter.

  • Add Fillings: Add the spinach, chives, 1 cup of the shredded cheese, and the ham. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined. You may need to use your hands to ensure everything is fully incorporated. Using your hands ensures all ingredients are evenly distributed and prevents overmixing.

  • Shape Biscuits: Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 even-sized 1-inch round disk-shaped biscuits (about ⅓ cup of batter in each). Lightly flouring your hands prevents the dough from sticking and makes shaping easier.

  • Arrange and Top: 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. Even spacing ensures even baking and prevents the biscuits from sticking together.

  • Bake: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, decrease the temperature to 350°F (175°C), 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! Decreasing the temperature ensures the biscuits cook through without burning. Not opening the oven prevents temperature fluctuations and ensures even baking.

Notes

  • Use your favorite cheese, meats, and vegetables.
  • Lightly flour hands to prevent dough from sticking.
  • Ensure baking powder is fresh for proper rising.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
