Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
Add in the flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in either the Ham & Cheese Chive mixture or the Mediterranean Sausage mixture.
Using a ⅓-cup scoop, portion the dough into 12 mounds on the baking sheet or fill each muffin cup nearly to the top. Wet hands to shape if dough is sticky.
Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top of each biscuit.
Bake for about 25 minutes, rotating halfway through if needed, until golden brown and set.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the biscuits to firm up.
