What You’ll Need

Here’s everything you’ll need to make your Flaky Breakfast Protein Biscuits, including some great substitutions:

• 2 cups All-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (or plain yogurt/sour cream)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Smoky ham (or turkey/vegetarian option)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella/vegan cheese)
• 1 cup Fresh spinach
• 2 tbsp Chives (or green onions)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Pepper

Feel free to switch out ingredients according to your dietary needs or personal preferences. For instance, using whole wheat flour brings a nutty flavor and extra fiber!

Directions to Follow

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
3. Combine the wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, eggs, ham, cheese, spinach, and chives until fully incorporated.
4. Merge the mixtures: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix for optimal texture.
5. Shape the dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
6. Cut out the biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds from the dough.
7. Bake: Place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
8. Serve: Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Storage and Reheating Tips

To keep your Flaky Breakfast Protein Biscuits fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore their flaky texture!

Tips to Make It Perfect

• Avoid overmixing: This is key to keeping your biscuits flaky and light.
• Flour your surface well: Help the dough not stick when you’re patting it out.
• Use cold ingredients: It’s best if your yogurt and eggs are chilled for that perfect texture.
• Experiment with spices: Try adding garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor.

Variations

Feel free to get creative with your biscuits! You might replace ham with cooked sausage or mushrooms for a vegetarian twist. Swap out the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a kick, or try adding chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a different flavor profile. The possibilities are endless!
