HOW TO MAKE BREAKFAST PROTEIN BISCUITS

INGREDIENTS

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose or gluten-free flour
• 1¼ cups plain Greek yogurt
• 4 large eggs
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 cup chopped spinach
• 3 tablespoons chopped chives
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed or chia seed
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

Step-by-step breakdown of the BREAKFAST PROTEIN BISCUITS directions to help ensure success:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Begin by turning on your oven and setting the temperature to 400°F (about 200°C) so it has time to fully preheat.
• While the oven heats, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This prevents the biscuits from sticking and makes cleanup easier. You can also use a silicone baking mat as an alternative.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, oregano, flaxseed, and salt.

• In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour (or your preferred flour), baking powder (this helps the biscuits rise), garlic powder (for savory flavor), dried oregano (adds a subtle herbal note), ground flaxseed (for fiber and a nutritional boost), and salt (to enhance overall taste).
• Whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients and to aerate the mixture, which contributes to a lighter texture.

3. In another bowl, whisk eggs and yogurt until smooth.

• In a separate medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the yogurt (Greek yogurt works well for extra protein and thickness).
• Whisk them together until completely blended and smooth. This forms the wet base of the dough and helps bind the ingredients while adding moisture and richness.

4. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

• Pour the egg-yogurt mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients.
• Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir everything together gently. Mix only until the flour is incorporated and no dry spots remain. Overmixing can develop gluten in the flour, leading to tough, dense biscuits. A few small lumps are okay this ensures a tender crumb.

5. Fold in spinach, chives, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese.

• Add chopped fresh spinach (make sure it’s dry to avoid soggy dough), finely sliced chives, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
• Use a gentle folding motion with a spatula to distribute the ingredients evenly without deflating the dough. Reserve some cheese to sprinkle on top later.

6. Scoop about ¼ cup dough for each biscuit, place on prepared sheet. Sprinkle tops with remaining cheese.

• Use a measuring cup or ice cream scoop to portion out about ¼ cup of dough per biscuit. This ensures uniform size and even baking.
• Place each mound of dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 1–2 inches between them for spreading.
• Take the remaining cheddar cheese (reserved from the 1 cup) and sprinkle it generously over the tops of the biscuits for a golden, cheesy crust.

7. Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes. Reduce oven to 350°F and bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake at 400°F for the first 5 minutes. This initial high heat helps the biscuits rise quickly and develop a nice lift.
• After 5 minutes, without opening the oven door too much, reduce the temperature to 350°F (about 175°C). Continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are fully cooked through and golden brown on top. They should sound slightly hollow when tapped.

8. Cool slightly before serving.

• Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes. This allows them to set and makes them easier to handle.
• Serve warm to enjoy the full flavor and tender texture. They pair well with soups, salads, or can be enjoyed on their own.

Tips:

• For extra browning, you can brush the tops with melted butter after baking.
• If you prefer crispier edges, space the biscuits closer together; for softer, pull-apart biscuits, place them close so they touch as they rise.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.

Enjoy your savory, nutrient-packed homemade biscuits!
