Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat biscuit mix
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, non-fat
- 4 slices low-sodium turkey bacon
- 4 units large eggs, free-range
- 1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat biscuit mix, Greek yogurt, and baking powder. Stir until it forms a dough.
Dust a clean, flat surface with a little flour and knead the dough lightly. Roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Using a circular cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out dough rounds. Place these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the biscuits are baking, heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add turkey bacon slices and cook until crisp. Remove and set aside on a paper towel.
In the same skillet, scramble the eggs with almond milk, adding black pepper and salt to taste. Cook until just set, then mix in the chopped spinach.
Slice the biscuits in half, layer a piece of turkey bacon, followed by a scoop of the scrambled egg and spinach mixture, and top with a sprinkle of low-fat cheddar cheese.
Place the biscuit tops back on each assembly, and if desired, return to the warm oven for a minute to melt the cheese.
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit.
