Ingredients

• 8 slices low sodium bacon
• 1 cup low sodium cheddar cheese
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup low fat milk
• 1 egg
• 0 olive oil spray
• 1 tbsp fresh chives
• 0.25 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cook the low sodium bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and baking powder.

Step 4

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Stir in the milk gradually to form a dough. Do not overwork the dough.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle evenly over the dough, followed by evenly spreading the low sodium cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Sprinkle chopped fresh chives and ground black pepper over the cheese and bacon layer.

Step 9

Carefully roll the dough starting from one long edge and roll tightly to create a log.

Step 10

Slice the log into 8 to 10 rolls, and place them cut-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Lightly whisk the egg and brush it over the tops of each roll for a golden color.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and the cheese is melted.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Low Sodium Bacon and Cheese Rolls warm!
