Ingredients
1 and three-quarter cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
4 eggs
2 and a half cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1.5 cups chopped spinach
1/2 cup finely diced chives
1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 cups cooked ham, diced
Instructions
1-Getting these protein biscuits just right starts with a few simple steps that anyone can follow, even if you’re new to baking. Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lining a baking tray with parchment paper to keep things from sticking. This prep sets the stage for a smooth baking process that takes about 55 minutes total.
2-In one bowl, whisk together the 1 and three-quarter cups plain 2% Greek yogurt and 4 eggs until they’re well combined this creates a creamy base full of protein. In another bowl, mix the 2 and a half cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup ground flaxseed, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 2 teaspoons salt to blend the dry ingredients evenly.

3-Gradually stir the dry mix into the wet ingredients until everything comes together. Then, fold in the 1.5 cups chopped spinach, 1/2 cup finely diced chives, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 cups cooked ham to add veggies, cheese, and meat for a hearty flavor. Lightly flour your hands to shape the dough into 12 even-sized round disks, each about one-third cup, and place them on the tray. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese on top before baking at 400 degrees for 5 minutes, then reduce to 350 degrees for another 20 minutes until golden brown.
4-Once done, let them cool a bit and serve with berries or extra Greek yogurt for a balanced meal. This method ensures the biscuits turn out dense yet satisfying, thanks to the lack of added fats like butter. If you notice the dough is sticky, just flour your hands as needed to make shaping easier and keep the process enjoyable.
Notes
