Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 25 min | Total Time: 40 min

Ingredients (Base Recipe):

• 1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
• 4 large eggs (room temp)
• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup ground flaxseed
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder

Choose Your Adventure – Add-Ins:

Ham & Cheese Chive Variation:

• 1½ cups spinach (wilted & squeezed dry)
• ½ cup chopped chives
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar (½ cup reserved for topping)
• 2 cups diced ham

Mediterranean Sausage Variation:

• 2 cups cooked Italian chicken sausage (crumbled)
• ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 1½ cups crumbled feta (½ cup reserved)
• 2 tsp dried basil (or ¼ cup fresh basil added after baking)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep:
   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or grease a muffin tin.
2. Mix the Wet Base:
   In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
3. Add Dry Ingredients:
   Stir in flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Mix until just combined — don’t overmix!
4. Fold in Your Flavor:
   Gently fold in your choice of variation (ham & cheese or Mediterranean).
5. Scoop & Shape:
   Use a ⅓ cup scoop to portion dough into 12 biscuits. Place on prepared sheet or fill muffin tins. Wet your hands to shape if sticky.
6. Top & Bake:
   Sprinkle with reserved cheese. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and firm. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
7. Cool & Enjoy:
   Let biscuits cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing. Devour warm or stash for later!

Pro Tips:

• Wet hands = no dough disasters
• Spinach & sausage = dry them like pros before mixing
• Freeze unbaked scoops and bake straight from frozen (add 5–8 minutes)
