¼ cup cold unsalted butter, diced

For the Protein Filling:

4 large eggs
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese you prefer)
2 tbsp chopped green onions
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil spray or 1 tsp oil for cooking

Tools You’ll Need
Mixing bowls
Whisk
Pastry cutter or fork
Biscuit cutter or a round glass
Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Non-stick skillet
Spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk well.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet with a little oil over medium heat.
3. Pour in the eggs and scramble until just cooked through.
4. Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped chicken, cheese, and green onions. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley.
2. Add the diced cold butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in the Greek yogurt and almond milk. Mix until a soft dough forms—don’t overmix.

Step 3: Assemble the Biscuits

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough to about ½-inch thickness.
3. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds (you should get 8-10 pieces).
4. Flatten each round slightly, spoon a bit of the filling in the center, then top with another round and press edges to seal.
5. Place the assembled biscuits on the baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake the Biscuits

1. Lightly brush the tops with milk or spray with oil for a golden finish.
2. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
3. Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Success
Keep Butter Cold – Cold butter creates flaky layers.
Don’t Overmix Dough – Mix until just combined to avoid tough biscuits.
Use a Biscuit Cutter – A sharp cutter helps biscuits rise evenly.
Let Filling Cool – Hot filling can affect the biscuit dough during assembly.
Experiment – Add cooked veggies like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition.

Serving Suggestions
Fresh Fruit – Serve with a bowl of berries or melon for a balanced meal.
Smoothie – Pair with a protein smoothie for an extra boost.
Hot Sauce or Salsa – Add a bit of spice on the side for dipping.
Yogurt Parfait – Make it a brunch with yogurt, granola, and fruit.
