Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1½ cups chopped fresh spinach
  • ½ cup finely chopped chives
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 2 cups diced cooked ham

Method
 

1. Heat & Prep:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

    2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and uniform.

      3. Mix Dry Ingredients:

      In another bowl, stir together flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt. This ensures flavors and leavening agents are evenly distributed.

        4. Combine Wet & Dry:

        Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet ingredients. Stir slowly to prevent lumps and maintain a smooth batter.

          5. Add the Good Stuff:

          Mix in spinach, chives, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and the ham. Use your hands if needed to evenly incorporate everything without overmixing.

            6. Shape Biscuits:

            Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 round biscuits (roughly 1-inch thick, ⅓ cup each).

              7. Arrange & Top:

              Place biscuits evenly on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Proper spacing ensures even baking.

                8. Bake to Perfection:

                Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake another 20 minutes. Biscuits are done when bottoms are golden and tops lightly browned.

                  Tips & Tricks

                  Moisture Fix: If biscuits feel dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of yogurt or milk to the dough.
                  Browning Issue: Increase baking time slightly if tops aren’t browning.
                  Density Problem: Make sure your baking powder is fresh for proper rise.
                  Even Fillings: Thoroughly mix the dough to distribute ham, spinach, and cheese evenly.
                  Time-Saving Hacks: Chop veggies and ham ahead, use pre-shredded cheese, and mix dry ingredients in advance.
                  Ingredient Swaps:
                  • No flaxseed? Skip it.
                  • No chives? Green onions work.
                  • Try different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack.
                  • Swap ham for cooked bacon or sausage.
                  Serving Ideas:
                  • Pair with fresh fruit, a salad, or avocado slices for a balanced meal.
                  • Top with Greek yogurt, hot sauce, or a drizzle of honey for flavor boosts.
                  • Enjoy with coffee, tea, smoothies, or milk.
