Description

Hearty and protein-packed breakfast biscuits filled with savory ham and sharp cheddar cheese—perfect for a quick morning meal or snack.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup diced cooked ham
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives (optional)
  • 2 tbsp milk (if needed for dough consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar, and chives.
  7. If the dough is too dry, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it comes together.
  8. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut into 8–10 biscuits using a biscuit cutter or knife.
  9. Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked ham for convenience.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt with buttermilk for a tangier flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
