Instructions: Make These Protein‑Packed Breakfast Biscuits
Here’s the step‑by‑step process to bring your breakfast protein biscuits to life:
- Preheat & prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F (≈200 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. - Mix wet ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and the 4 eggs until smooth and uniform. - Combine dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). - Combine wet + dry
Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet yogurt‑egg mixture. Mix gently until just incorporated. - Fold in add-ins
Choose the Ham & Cheese / Chive version or the Mediterranean Sausage version:- For Ham & Cheese: fold in spinach, chives, 1 cup of cheddar, and diced ham.
- For Mediterranean: fold in crumbled sausage, sun‑dried tomatoes, basil, and 1 cup of feta.
Mix thoroughly but gently so you don’t overwork the dough.
- Shape the biscuits
Lightly flour your hands and scoop out even portions (about ⅓ cup each) of dough, flattening into biscuit shapes. Place them spaced apart on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the reserved ½ cup cheese (cheddar or feta, depending on version) on top of each biscuit. - Bake
Bake at 400°F for about 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and continue baking for ~20 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown and tops are just starting to brown. Do not open the oven during baking. - Cool & store
Let the biscuits cool completely on the baking sheet. Then store: refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze (in a freezer‑safe container, with parchment between layers) up to ~3 months. - Reheat
From frozen, allow to defrost (or bake directly) and reheat in an oven, toaster oven, air fryer, or microwave until warmed through.
