Time to Cook

Steps to Make It
- Preheat your oven to 400 °F. This ensures your biscuits will bake evenly and turn out golden brown.
- In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined, and you should see a light, fluffy texture.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to fold it in gently until the mixture starts to come together.
- Next, fold in the shredded cheese, crumbled sausage, and chopped spinach. The dough will be sticky, but that’s okay; it will come together as you mix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. You want it to be thick enough to hold its shape but not too thick.
- Cut the dough into squares or circles using a knife or biscuit cutter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each biscuit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden on top. Your kitchen will smell amazing during this time!
- Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.
- Once cooled, you can store them in an airtight container or freeze them for later. They’ll stay fresh for about a month in the freezer.
Make It Perfect
- For extra flavor, try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough.
- If you prefer a softer biscuit, reduce the baking time by a couple of minutes.
- These biscuits are great for breakfast but also make a tasty snack any time of day.
Mix It Up
- Swap out the sausage for diced ham or cooked bacon.
- Add diced bell peppers or onions for extra veggies.
- Try using different types of cheese like feta or pepper jack for a kick.
Perfect Partners
- Serve with a side of fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.
- Pair with a smoothie for a quick and nutritious meal.
- Enjoy with your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
