Protein-Packed Breakfast Biscuits with Ham, Spinach, and Cheddar


Ingredients:

  • 1 ¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 4 large 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 ½ cups spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup chives, finely diced
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 cups cooked ham, diced

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and well combined.

  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.

  4. Form the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined—don't overmix.

  5. Add the Fillings: Fold in the chopped spinach, chives, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and diced ham.

  6. Shape the Biscuits: Using a spoon or your hands, drop approximately ¼ cup portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

  7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each biscuit.

  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. Cool and Serve: Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy!


Conclusion:

These Protein-Packed Breakfast Biscuits are a delicious and nutritious start to your day. Packed with protein and greens, they make for a hearty breakfast or brunch. You can make them ahead of time and enjoy them throughout the week or serve them fresh from the oven for a special morning treat.
