Instructions
 

Biscuit Preparation

  • 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 medium mixing bowl, combine flour, ground flax seed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder and salt.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing well.
  • Add mix-ins including vegetables, herbs and cooked meat along with 1 cup of the cheese and the ham. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined.
  • Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 even-sized 1-inch thick round disk shaped biscuits. Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking tray.
  • Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 400F for 5 minutes, decrease the temperature to 350F and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Once the bottom of the biscuits are golden brown and the tops are just beginning to brown, your biscuits are done!

Notes

These are a denser biscuit than a traditional flaky biscuit. Substitute ground flax seed with additional flour (will alter protein content). Decrease salt for lower sodium option and use ground turkey instead of ham.
