Protein Breakfast Biscuits (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 2½ cups plain flour for baking
02 - 4 fresh eggs
03 - ¼ cup flaxseed, finely ground
04 - 1¾ cups 2% Greek yogurt, unsweetened

→ Seasonings

05 - 2 teaspoons salt, regular
06 - ½ teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
07 - 1 tablespoon leavening agent (baking powder)
08 - 1 teaspoon powdered garlic

→ Mix-ins

09 - 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, split into two
10 - 2 cups ham chunks, already cooked
11 - ½ cup chive pieces, finely sliced
12 - 1½ cups leafy spinach, chopped small

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In one mixing bowl, blend yogurt with eggs. In another, stir together flour, ground flax, garlic, chili flakes, baking powder, and salt.
03 - Fold the dry mix into the wet one. Toss in chopped spinach, sliced chives, 1 cup of cheese, and diced ham. Stir until smooth.
04 - Dust your hands with flour. Shape the dough into 12 small disks, about an inch thick. Place them onto the lined tray and sprinkle on the last bit of cheese.
05 - Bake first at 400°F for 5 minutes. Lower heat to 350°F and continue for 20 minutes until they're a deep golden shade.

# Notes:

01 - These turn out heavier compared to buttery biscuits.
02 - If you don't have flaxseed, swap it for more flour.
03 - Ensure alternative meats are fully cooked beforehand.
