Ingredients You’ll Need for Breakfast Protein Biscuits

1¾ cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt
4 Large Eggs (room temp)
2½ cups All-Purpose Flour
¼ cup Ground Flaxseed
1 tbsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
1½ cups Spinach, wilted & squeezed dry
½ cup Chives, chopped
1½ cups Cheddar Cheese (½ cup reserved)
2 cups Diced Ham
2 cups Cooked Italian Chicken Sausage, crumbled
½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped
1½ cups Feta (½ cup reserved)
2 tsp Dried Basil (or ¼ cup fresh, added after baking)

How to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or grease a muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and creamy.
Gently add the dry ingredients, stirring in the flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until just combined.
Fold in your mix-ins of choice—either the diced ham and cheddar for a hearty flavor or the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta for a Mediterranean twist.
Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to scoop the dough and place it on the baking sheet or fill the muffin tin wells.
Sprinkle the reserved cheese or feta on top of each biscuit for an extra cheesy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing.

Fun Ways to Customize It

Zesty Southwest Style: Add diced jalapeños and pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick that’s sure to wake up your taste buds.
Herb-Infused Delight: Mix in fresh rosemary, thyme, or parsley for a fragrant twist that brightens each bite.
Delightfully Sweet: Swap in diced apples and shredded cheese with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a breakfast biscuit that feels indulgently sweet.
Dairy-Free Version: Switch the Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt and use dairy-free cheese for a delicious alternative that still packs a protein punch.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Magic: These biscuits freeze beautifully! Just bake, cool completely, and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Reheat in the oven or microwave for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
Ingredient Swaps: Don’t have Greek yogurt? Sour cream works fine! You can also experiment with different types of cheese based on what you have on hand.
Perfectly Moist Biscuits: Be sure to squeeze out excess moisture from spinach or any other wet ingredients to keep your biscuits from becoming soggy.
Tips for Leftovers: Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat in the toaster oven for a few minutes for that freshly-baked taste.
