High-Protein Breakfast Biscuits: A Savory & Healthy Recipe

Description

These savory, high-protein breakfast biscuits are perfect for meal prepping a quick, healthy breakfast. Made with Greek yogurt, ground Italian chicken sausage, and fresh chives, they are a delicious, grab-and-go meal to keep you energized all morning.

Ingredients

Scale

1¾ cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt (or full-fat for a richer biscuit)

4 Large Eggs (room temp)

2½ cups All-Purpose Flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend)

¼ cup Ground Flaxseed (or chia seeds)

1 tbsp Baking Powder

2 tsp Salt

1 tsp Garlic Powder

½ tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

2 cups Cooked Ground Italian Chicken Sausage, crumbled (or turkey sausage)

½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped (optional)

½ cup Chives, chopped

1½ cups Cheddar or Feta Cheese (½ cup reserved for topping)

Instructions

Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk yogurt and eggs until smooth.
Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir in flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
Combine: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir just until a thick dough forms.
Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the cooked ground sausage, chopped chives, cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop Dough: Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared sheet.
Flatten & Top: Gently flatten the dough mounds slightly to form round, cookie-like patties. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the tops.
Bake: Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and firm.
Cool: Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving or storing.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough; this ensures a moist, tender biscuit.

The dough will be sticky—that’s normal! Do not add extra flour.

These freeze beautifully: store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave for 30-45 seconds or use a toaster oven.
