Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 4 slices low-fat turkey bacon
• 4 units large eggs
• 1 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour the low-fat buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir gently until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently about 5-6 times until it just comes together. Roll out the dough to about 3/4-inch thickness.

Step 6

Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough and transfer them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown on top. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, cook the low-fat turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

Step 9

In the same skillet, spray with cooking spray and scramble the eggs, cooking until they are just set. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.

Step 10

Split each cooled biscuit in half, layering each bottom half with a slice of turkey bacon, a portion of scrambled egg, and a sprinkle of reduced-fat cheddar cheese.

Step 11

Place the top halves of the biscuits over the filling and serve warm.
