# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a standard muffin tin.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and well combined.
03 -
Gradually stir in flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
04 -
Gently fold in your chosen mix-ins: either the ham, spinach, chives and 1 cup of cheddar OR the crumbled sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, 1 cup of feta and dried basil.
05 -
Using a ⅓ cup measure, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm apart, or fill muffin wells approximately ¾ full.
06 -
Sprinkle the reserved cheese (cheddar or feta) over the tops of the biscuits. Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
07 -
Allow biscuits to cool for 10 minutes before serving. If using fresh basil for the Mediterranean version, sprinkle it on now.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
These protein-rich biscuits can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap individually and reheat in microwave for 30-45 seconds or in oven at 150°C for 10 minutes.
02 -
For best results, ensure yogurt and eggs are at room temperature before mixing.
