Cooking Instructions

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

Notes

These biscuits are denser than traditional flaky biscuits. Substitute with turkey or adjust salt for lower sodium options.
