Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
-
2 cups whole wheat flour
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
2 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
-
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (high-protein)
-
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Protein Filling:
-
1 cup cooked beef breakfast sausage, crumbled
-
4 large eggs
-
¼ cup milk (any variety)
-
¼ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp pepper
-
½ cup chopped baby spinach
-
¼ cup diced red bell pepper
-
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Biscuit Dough
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
-
Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mix resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese.
-
Add Greek yogurt and gently mix until a sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 2: Shape the Biscuits
6. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about ¾-inch thick.
7. Use a biscuit cutter or round glass to cut out biscuits.
8. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, slightly spaced apart.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
9. In a skillet, cook crumbled beef sausage until browned. Set aside.
10. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
11. Pour into the skillet and scramble until just set.
12. Stir in spinach, bell pepper, and sausage. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
13. Remove from heat and mix in mozzarella, if using.
Step 4: Assemble and Bake
14. For sandwich-style biscuits, bake biscuits first for 15-18 minutes until golden.
15. Let them cool slightly, then slice in half and fill with the sausage-egg mix.
16. Or, press a thumbprint into the raw dough, fill with a spoonful of filling, and bake as filled biscuits.
17. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use Cold Butter – Ensures flaky, tender texture.
Don’t Overmix – Gentle handling keeps biscuits light.
Customize Filling – Add mushrooms, onions, or jalapeños for variety.
Make-Ahead Friendly – Store and reheat easily.
