Ingredients
For the Base Biscuit:
1¾ cups ziyad brand Greek yogurt

¼ cup ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
Ham, Cheese & Chive Variation:

2 cups cooked Italian chicken sausage (removed from casing)
1½ cups Dodoni Feta Cheese or Mt. Vikos Traditional Feta Cheese
1½ cups spinach, chopped
2 teaspoons dried basil
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
3. In another bowl, mix flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.
4. Slowly combine dry mixture into the wet mixture until a dough forms.
5. Choose a variation and fold in the mix-ins: vegetables, cheese, herbs, and cooked meat.
6. Lightly flour hands, divide dough into 12 equal portions, and shape into 1-inch-thick discs.
7. Place biscuits on the tray, leaving space between them.
8. Sprinkle tops with the remaining cheese.
9. Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F and bake an additional 20 minutes.
10. Cool slightly before serving and enjoy warm or store for later.
Notes
These Healthy Breakfast Biscuits are denser than traditional flaky biscuits but more filling and nutritious.
Avoid overmixing to keep them tender.
You can replace ground flaxseed with ¼ cup extra flour for a lighter texture.
Always ensure the meat is fully cooked before adding to the dough.
They pair perfectly with eggs, avocado, or fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.
