Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat biscuit mix
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, non-fat
- 4 slices low-sodium turkey bacon
- 4 units large eggs, free-range
- 1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat biscuit mix, Greek yogurt, and baking powder. Stir until it forms a dough.
Step 3
Dust a clean, flat surface with a little flour and knead the dough lightly. Roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Step 4
Using a circular cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out dough rounds. Place these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Step 6
While the biscuits are baking, heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add turkey bacon slices and cook until crisp. Remove and set aside on a paper towel.
Step 7
In the same skillet, scramble the eggs with almond milk, adding black pepper and salt to taste. Cook until just set, then mix in the chopped spinach.
Step 8
Slice the biscuits in half, layer a piece of turkey bacon, followed by a scoop of the scrambled egg and spinach mixture, and top with a sprinkle of low-fat cheddar cheese.
Step 9
Place the biscuit tops back on each assembly, and if desired, return to the warm oven for a minute to melt the cheese.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit.
