Baking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs.
  • In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing well.
  • Add mix-ins including vegetables, herbs, and cooked meat along with 1 cup of the cheese and the ham. Mix until fully combined.
  • Divide the dough into 12 even-sized, 1-inch thick round disk-shaped biscuits (about ⅓ cup of batter each). Arrange on the prepared tray and sprinkle tops with remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then decrease the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes without opening the oven.
  • Once the biscuits are golden brown on the bottom and just beginning to brown on top, they are done!

Notes

These are a denser biscuit than a traditional flaky biscuit, making them perfect for a quick breakfast.
