# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until fully smooth and homogenous.
03 -
Gently stir in the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
04 -
Fold in your chosen mix-ins: for a ham and cheese version, incorporate diced ham and cheddar; for a Mediterranean style, add spinach, chives, sun-dried tomatoes, chicken sausage, and feta.
05 -
Using a ¾ cup (80 ml) measuring cup, scoop the dough and place evenly spaced on the prepared baking surface or into muffin wells.
06 -
Sprinkle reserved cheddar or feta cheese atop each biscuit. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
07 -
Allow biscuits to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving or storing to set the texture and flavors.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For a vegetarian variant, omit ham and sausage; increase sun-dried tomatoes and feta accordingly.
02 -
Add fresh basil after baking to preserve its aromatic quality.
03 -
Ensure spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent excess moisture and sogginess.
04 -
Using room temperature eggs promotes a smoother batter consistency.
