Warm, savory, and high in protein, these breakfast protein biscuits are made with Greek yogurt and eggs as the base, then customized with either ham and cheddar or Mediterranean sausage and feta. They’re freezer-friendly, perfect for busy mornings, and pack 14g of protein per biscuit.

Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1½ cups spinach, chopped, wilted, and squeezed dry (Ham & Cheddar variation)
  • ½ cup chopped chives (Ham & Cheddar variation)
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided (Ham & Cheddar variation)
  • 2 cups diced ham (Ham & Cheddar variation)
  • 2 cups cooked Italian chicken sausage, casings removed (Mediterranean variation)
  • ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (Mediterranean variation)
  • 1½ cups crumbled feta cheese, divided (Mediterranean variation)
  • 2 tsp dried basil or ¼ cup chopped fresh basil (Mediterranean variation)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
  3. Add flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir until just combined; lumps are okay.
  4. Fold in the chosen mix-ins (Ham & Cheddar or Mediterranean) using a spatula and gentle cutting motions.
  5. Use a ⅓-cup scoop to portion the dough into 12 mounds. Place in muffin tin or on a baking sheet spaced 2 inches apart.
  6. Top with reserved cheese (cheddar or feta) and bake for 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
  7. Biscuits are done when golden brown and firm to the touch; a toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool for 10 minutes before removing and serving or storing.

Notes

  • Wet hands to shape sticky dough more easily.
  • Freeze raw scoops on a tray before bagging for longer storage.
  • Reheat in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel or in a 350°F oven for best results.
  • Substitute spinach with cooked kale or chopped bell peppers for different texture and flavor.
  • Use plant-based sausage and dairy-free cheese for a vegetarian/dairy-free variation.
