Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon low sodium baking powder
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup skim milk
• 4 slices low sodium bacon
• 4 units large eggs
• 4 slices low sodium cheddar cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and low sodium baking powder.

Step 3

Cut in cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Make a well in the center and add the skim milk, stirring until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 5 or 6 times, then pat it into a 1/2-inch thick round.

Step 6

Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool slightly.

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 9

Add the low sodium bacon slices to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 10

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with 2 tablespoons of water and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 11

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and scramble until they are just set. Remove from heat.

Step 12

To assemble, slice the biscuits in half. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half.

Step 13

Layer a portion of scrambled eggs and a slice of crispy bacon over the cheese.

Step 14

Top with the other half of the biscuit and repeat for the remaining sandwiches.

Step 15

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits!
