Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder (low sodium)
• 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk
• 4 slices Low sodium bacon
• 4 units Large eggs
• 4 slices Low sodium cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and low sodium baking powder.

Step 3

Add the unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until the dough begins to come together.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times just until it holds together.

Step 6

Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick and fold it into thirds like a letter. Repeat this process three more times to create flaky layers.

Step 7

Roll the dough out to a 1/2 inch thick slab and use a biscuit cutter to cut out 4 biscuits, reforming scraps as necessary.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown.

Step 9

Meanwhile, cook the low sodium bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 10

Wipe out the skillet and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Crack eggs into the skillet and sprinkle with black pepper. Cook to your desired doneness.

Step 11

Slice the biscuits open, and layer each with a slice of low sodium bacon, a fried egg, and a slice of low sodium cheddar cheese.

Step 12

Serve immediately, enjoying the hearty, savory flavors of your low sodium bacon egg cheese biscuits.
