Ingredients
  

For the Biscuit Base

  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt Choose full-fat for the best texture.
  • 2 large Eggs Bind the ingredients and add richness.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Substitute with whole wheat for a healthier option.
  • 2 tablespoons Flaxseed Adds fiber and healthy fats; can be omitted if unavailable.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder For a bolder taste, use fresh garlic instead.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Provides a spicy kick; adjust based on your heat preference.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds extra seasoning.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Ensures your biscuits rise; always check for freshness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Elevates overall flavor.

For the Flavor Boosters

  • 1 cup Spinach Adds freshness and nutrition; swap with kale or other greens if desired.
  • 1/4 cup Chives Impart a mild onion flavor; green onions can be a great alternative.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Choose sharp or mild based on your taste.
  • 1/2 cup Ham Can be replaced with turkey or omitted for a vegetarian-friendly option.
  • 1/4 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes Add a delightful sweet and tangy flavor; fresh tomatoes can work if moisture is managed.
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Sausage Boosts protein content; can be omitted or substituted with more veggies.
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese Adds creaminess and a tangy flavor; goat cheese or ricotta can be alternatives.
  • 1 tablespoon Basil Infuses lovely fresh flavor; dried basil can also be used for convenience.

Instructions
 

How to Make Hearty Cottage Cheese Breakfast Biscuits

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare all your ingredients by chopping and measuring them ahead of time.
  • Mix Greek yogurt and eggs in a large bowl, whisking together until smooth and creamy.
  • Combine in a separate bowl: flour, flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, baking powder, and salt.
  • Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients gently.
  • Incorporate spinach, chives, sun-dried tomatoes, ham, chicken sausage, cheddar, feta, and basil into the mixture.
  • Shape the dough by lightly flouring your hands, dividing it into 12 portions, and forming each into disks about 1 inch thick.
  • Arrange the biscuits on the lined baking sheet and sprinkle any remaining cheddar on top.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

These biscuits can be served warm with scrambled eggs or atop your favorite salad for a delightful touch.
