Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat biscuit mix
- 0.75 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Turkey sausage patties
- 4 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat biscuit mix, low-fat milk, and olive oil. Stir until the dough forms.
Step 3
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently, then pat it to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out 4 biscuits using a round cutter.
Step 4
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Step 5
Meanwhile, cook the turkey sausage patties in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Set aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add the spinach leaves and cook over medium heat until wilted. Remove and set aside.
Step 7
Whisk together the egg whites, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the non-stick skillet and cook over medium heat until just set, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
To assemble, split each cooled biscuit in half. Layer each with a cooked turkey sausage patty, a portion of scrambled egg whites, wilted spinach, and a sprinkle of low-fat cheddar cheese.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast!
