2 cups turkey ham, chopped: This adds a wonderful savory, smoky flavor.
2 cups cooked Italian chicken sausage, crumbled: For that extra protein punch and delicious Italian herbs!
2 tsp dried basil: A classic herb that pairs perfectly with the sausage and tomatoes.
1/2 cup chopped chives: These little green gems bring a fresh, mild oniony bite.
1 tsp garlic powder: Because what savory dish is complete without a little garlic?
1 1/2 cups wilted and squeezed spinach: Sneaking in some greens never hurt anyone, and it adds a lovely touch of color and nutrients! Make sure to squeeze out all the extra water.
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped: These little flavor bombs bring a sweet, tangy, and concentrated tomato taste.
4 large eggs: Our binder and protein boost!
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour: The base of our biscuit.
1 tbsp baking powder: This is what gives our biscuits their lovely lift!
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes: For a tiny hint of warmth. Feel free to adjust this to your spice preference!
2 tsp salt: To bring out all those wonderful flavors.
1/4 cup ground flaxseed: An extra boost of fiber and healthy fats, plus it helps bind everything together.
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese: Melted, gooey, cheesy goodness!
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese: The salty, tangy creaminess of feta is just divine here.
1 3/4 cups plain 2% Greek yogurt: This is our secret ingredient for incredible moisture and a tangy flavor. It also adds protein!

How to Make It

Alright, let’s get our hands a little flour-y and make some magic happen! It’s easier than you think.

Preheat your oven: Get your oven warmed up to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so your biscuits don’t stick.
Combine the “stuff”: In a big bowl, toss together your chopped turkey ham, crumbled chicken sausage, dried basil, chives, garlic powder, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. Give it a good mix.
Whisk the eggs: In a separate, medium-sized bowl, crack those four eggs and whisk them up until they’re nice and blended.
Add dry to wet: Now, pour your whisked eggs into a large bowl. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, red pepper flakes (if you’re using them!), and salt. Stir it all together until it’s just combined. We don’t want to overmix here!
Stir in the creamy goodness: Gently stir in the ground flaxseed, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled feta cheese, and that lovely Greek yogurt. It will start to look like a wonderfully thick batter.
Fold in the good stuff: Now, carefully fold that hearty meat and vegetable mixture into your batter. You want to combine everything without mashing it too much.
Scoop ’em up: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop generous dollops of your biscuit mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. They don’t need to be perfectly round; a rustic look is part of their charm!
Bake until golden: Pop them into your preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re beautifully golden brown on top and cooked all the way through.

Substitutions & Additions

Don’t be afraid to get creative! These biscuits are super forgiving.

Meat: If turkey ham or Italian sausage aren’t your jam, try cooked bacon, shredded rotisserie chicken, or even some diced cooked ham.
Veggies: Bell peppers (any color!), chopped mushrooms, or a handful of frozen peas would be delicious additions. Just make sure to sauté any raw veggies beforehand to remove excess moisture.
Cheese: Monterey Jack, smoked Gouda, or a sharp white cheddar would be fantastic swaps or additions.
Herbs: Fresh parsley, thyme, or even a pinch of rosemary could add a lovely twist.
Spice: If you love a bit of heat, increase the red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Tips for Success

A few little tricks to ensure your biscuits turn out perfectly every time!

Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the flour can lead to tough biscuits. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Squeeze the Spinach: This is crucial! If your spinach is too wet, it will make your biscuits soggy.
Warming the Oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
Prep Ahead: You can chop all your meats and veggies the night before and store them in airtight containers in the fridge. This will make morning assembly even quicker!
Freezer Friendly: These biscuits freeze beautifully. Let them cool completely, then store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for a quick breakfast.

How to Store It

Once cooled, you can store any leftover Savory Breakfast Protein Biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, follow the freezing tips above!

FAQs

Got a question? We’ve got answers!

Can I make these vegetarian? Absolutely! You can omit the meat altogether and add more veggies, perhaps some diced bell peppers, onions, or even black beans for extra protein.
Can I use low-fat Greek yogurt? Yes, you can! Just be aware that it might slightly alter the texture, but it will still be delicious.
How do I reheat them? The best way to reheat is in a toaster oven or a regular oven at around 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through. Microwaving will make them a bit soft.
