Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing a muffin tin.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the plain 2% Greek yogurt and the large eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes until no lumps remain, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  4. Carefully fold in your choice of diced ham, shredded cheese, and fresh spinach or the Mediterranean sausage, feta, and sun-dried tomatoes into the dry mixture.
  5. Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup or an ice cream scoop, portion out the biscuit dough onto your prepared baking sheet or muffin tin.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese or feta on top of each biscuit and bake for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  7. After baking, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving.
