Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and protein powder (if using).

Step 3: Cut in Butter
Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture.
Use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in shredded cheese and any optional add-ins like sausage or spinach.

Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, and milk until smooth.

Step 5: Combine and Form Dough
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
Do not overmix. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 6: Scoop and Shape Biscuits
Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about ¼ cup each.
Leave space between biscuits for spreading.

Step 7: Bake and Cool
Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use Cold Butter – Cold butter creates flaky layers.
Don’t Overmix – This helps keep the biscuits light and tender.
Choose Quality Protein – Use a flavorless or savory protein powder for best results.
Add Extra Protein – Greek yogurt and eggs are natural protein boosters.
Make a Sandwich – Slice and fill with scrambled eggs, avocado, or turkey bacon for a full meal.
