Instructions
Making the Biscuits
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Mix until just combined.
Fold in your choice of mix-ins—either the diced ham and shredded cheddar or the Italian chicken sausage with sun-dried tomatoes and feta.
Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet or into the muffin tin.
Sprinkle reserved cheddar or feta on top of each biscuit for an extra cheesy finish.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the biscuits to cool for about 10 minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
Serve warm with hot honey or grainy mustard for added flavor. Store baked biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
