Description

These high-protein breakfast biscuits are savory, cheesy, and packed with around 15g of protein each. Perfect for meal prep, they’re freezer-friendly, endlessly customizable, and the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast option.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 blend)

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

¼ cup ground flaxseed

1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or higher)

2 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

½ cup diced ham (or cooked turkey sausage)

½ cup chopped fresh spinach

2 tbsp chopped chives or green onions


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and ground flaxseed.

  • In another bowl, whisk eggs, then stir in Greek yogurt until smooth.

  • Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing gently until a sticky dough forms.

  • Fold in half the cheese, ham, spinach, and chives.

  • Divide dough into 12 portions, roll into rustic rounds, and place on the baking sheet.

  • Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

  • Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F, then reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown.

  • Cool 5 minutes before serving.
