Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat biscuit mix
- 0.75 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Turkey sausage patties
- 4 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat biscuit mix, low-fat milk, and olive oil. Stir until the dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently, then pat it to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out 4 biscuits using a round cutter.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Meanwhile, cook the turkey sausage patties in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add the spinach leaves and cook over medium heat until wilted. Remove and set aside.
Whisk together the egg whites, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the non-stick skillet and cook over medium heat until just set, stirring occasionally.
To assemble, split each cooled biscuit in half. Layer each with a cooked turkey sausage patty, a portion of scrambled egg whites, wilted spinach, and a sprinkle of low-fat cheddar cheese.
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast!
