Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease muffin tin.
In a medium bowl, whisk together plain 2% Greek yogurt and room temperature eggs until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes.
Gently fold in cooked spinach, chives, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced ham or Mediterranean fillings.
Scoop the biscuit dough onto the prepared sheet or into muffin wells using a ⅓ cup measure.
Before baking, sprinkle reserved cheddar cheese or feta on top of each scoop.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes until golden brown.
Let the biscuits cool for about 10 minutes post-baking before serving.
