Tips to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Keep it Room Temp: Use room temperature eggs to help the dough mix smoothly. No one likes a clumpy biscuit!
Swap it Up: Don’t have ham? Try turkey or bacon. There are no limits to creativity here!
Texture Matters: For extra crunch, top your biscuits with a sprinkle of seeds or nuts before baking.
Basil Bliss: If using fresh basil, add it after baking to keep that vibrant flavor intact.

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Turn these biscuits into a vegan delight by swapping the yogurt and eggs for a flax egg and plant-based yogurt. You can also toss in your favorite veggies like bell peppers or zucchini for a fun twist!

FAQs

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Absolutely! Whole wheat flour gives a nuttier taste and is a healthier option. Just be prepared for a denser biscuit.

Can I prep the dough ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough a few hours in advance. Just cover it and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake.

What if I don’t have Greek yogurt?
You can substitute plain yogurt or even cottage cheese in a pinch. Both work great!
