Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Breakfast Protein Biscuits
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

  3. In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined.
  5. Stir in spinach, chives, and cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
